    '96 vintage Veloce double crank, English threaded BB... got a 115 mm on there now (flea market
    find), but I think 111 mm would work better when it's time for a new BB. Correct?

    Yeah I find the 115.5mm spindle is a "last resort" to use only if there's no way to use the 111, for
    best chain line.

    Right. Well, maybe. 111 for standard chainline, 115 with a fat seat tube (alternate chainline)

    ALMOST correct. 115 is for oversized seattubes, double OR triple. 111 is for "normal" seat tubes,
    double or triple. I have a 111 for a Centaur triple on my older Bianchi, and I wouldn't want to run
    anything wider.
