Okay I feel terrible for continuing to bump this thread but maybe someone else will find it useful in the future also...
So I'm super close to order the bbinfinite but I have this feeling it won't actually work with the Riken, not because of the bottom bracket, but because of the shell of frame. When it rubbed before it rubbed the tiny little plastic ring on the bottom bracket, pictured here:
So even if I were to take that off for the new bottom bracket, it only adds a sliver of clearance because the shell is so fat. So if that tiny plastic ring was preventing my drive side from sliding in more than 1mm, won't I still have frame rub?
