True, there are a few old MTB sq taper BBs that use a shaft collar to do that. Or something like the Answer Slider BB.
the over-bearing width is going to be ~90mm, and you need ~20mm on each side for the taper, so that leaves you stuck with a very odd 140 or wider spindle which is going to be hard to find and also fucks your chainline

not to sound snooty, but if this was possible I already would have done it

WI would have done it instead of the ENO, too.

Lets me stay about in the same place on the bike and try:
- 71 or 74 seat angle
- shorter cranks without having to slam the saddle way back to keep the power foot in the same relation to my hip
- other positional shenanigans
So currently it’s in slack mode with 155mm cranks but the stem length and weight distribution haven’t really changed.
