Tom,
in DC area bike coops Phoenix or Velocity have used parts. They sell
old parts inexpensively. You go and look through their bin.
But I had trouble with a front triple myself. Even after going to a
shop. Then I bought an FD off Ebay that was spec'ed for 30 39 52.
Finally bending it down to match the profile of the large ring helped.
And I took a strong grinder to the back part of the cage so it would go
closer to the big ring . The steel is quite tough. Crank is 30, 38,
52. For your double with experimenting You can probably make whatever you
find work.
