My new Saluki came with a classy, classic Specialized crank.  But I kept 
hearing a little clicking noise when in the big ring.  Eventually I figured 
out that the crank arm was just grazing the edge of the (Campy Triple) FD. 
 Adjusting it made it graze the chain. I went back and forth with this a 
couple of times.  Stared at it and considered raising the FD a couple of 
mm.  Then I measured the difference between the tooth and the inside of the 
arm - 8.5mm.  Raising the FD should align it next to a thinner part of the 
arm but would also degrade shifting. 

I went around the shop measuring all the cranks on my and my wives bikes. 
 Here's what I got:

Shimano 600 -10mm
Alpina 11.5
Ultegra 11.5
White VBC - 15mm
DaVinci - 15mm

Any suggestions, short of grinding the back of the arm?
