Subject: [CR]Fixed Gear - Campy BB question

I'd like to set up an older 531 tubed Trek frame as a fixed gear road bike. I have a question concerning bottom brackets. I'd like to use the NR Campy road crankset I have and was wondering about the bottom bracket. Would a Campy track bottom bracket be advisable? I'm guessing the answer is no since the rear is spaced 126mm, but would appreciate any input. I do have a Phil Wood BB for a double chainring set up that I could conceivably adjust over to one side a bit. Maybe this would be my best bet.

BTW, I have no experience with Campy track bottom brackets (or any Campy track specific parts!) and wonder if the track BB spindles are compatible with the road BB? If so, would it need the thick or thin cups? THANKS!
