I have the Velo Orange 50.4 crank (first gen) on a Rawland rSogn. I've got 
15,000km on it and the non-anodized aluminum arms look nasty from my 
neglect. Functionally it's a great and low-cost way to try the wide-range 
gearing (cheaper than Sugino OXs).
You could probably use the 118 BB on your RB-1 with no issues; my mtbish 
frame required a 122.5 spindle.
