hey everyone. i have an old 1970s ross. Its a steel frame and It is starting to get some surface rust. I am sending it out to s+d powdercoating soon. After i get it back I plan on putting all new componants on it. I am looking for a new crankset. The frame has an american BMX style bb. Is there any modern cranksets that have 2 chainrings around. Also what was/is the size hub for these bikes. I am trying to make this a cheep rebuild. I just want a fun road bike I can ride around and not be anal about it getting banged around. I have an all original 1981 ross that is in prime condition and i love riding it, but it has a few small rust spots and dings. I dont want to get the condition any worse. Thanks for your help.

Not sure about your BB dilemma, but the rear hub spacing for that frame is probably 120mm. Easiest way to find out would be to measure between the dropouts.
