I had a similar problem with a 70's road bike that I wanted to set up as a single speed, but I focused on the rear end. Dropout spacing was 120mm and I had a Phil hub that I wanted to use in conjunction with an ENO SS freewheel. So I unscrewed the axle caps on the Phil, flipped 'em to the opposite sides, and then re-centered the wheel. This moved the freewheel over enough on the drive side so that it created a perfect chainline with the chain on the inner chainring. Not sure what the rear spacing is on a Quickbeam and I realize that the Sugino won't give you this kind of flexibility, but maybe adding a few spacers behind the freewheel would be a better alternative to monkeying with the crankset.
