The original crankset would have been a double and been a cm or so out. If you haven't had the frame coldset or anything you might be best going with a cassette hub and conversion kit+tensioner. Swap the bb for a longer one as needed then just move the spacers about on the back to suit.
It won't be as nice to look at but it works better if you plan to freewheel. You won't be able to flip the wheel around to ride fixed tho.
