Here's the link to the cartridge BB page that references the 107mm BB for
all Rivendells in combination with the XD2 crank:

I realized later, that the QB probably came with a wider BB in order to get
its inner ring out from the chainstay. I'm running a single ring, in the
middle position, and with these Sugino XD2 cranks, the chainline at from is
45mm, with about 9mm clearance betweeen the 40T chainring and chainstay.
That works fine for me, and it would bring the granny gear pretty pretty
close... but probably clearance for a smaller ring.
