Now that I'm optimistic that this might work out, I spent the weekend doing small bits, fitting brakes, adjusting mudguards, trueing the wheels — after I changed the rear hub it needed some service, and I'm still to learn how to make it perfect.
Today new bb arrived, this one is 107mm and fitted right. The alignment is much much better, so I'll give this a go and check with a chain tomorrow.
This is how the build is looking at the moment then:
bits needed:
seatpost
saddle
sprocket lock ring
pedals + retainers
