Sadly, the crank wasn't quite what I had in mind, it didn't match the picture on the DBB site. I ultimately ended up replacing it with a SunXCD 50.4mm BCD crank, and one of the Velo Orange single chainrings for that size. I ended up having to mount the chainring on the inside of the flange of the crank arm instead of the outside, though, to get make it actually work with the chaincase.
