I just got finished building my Bleriot. I installed a Sugino 48/34 double on a 110 bb. When the chain was crossed from small ring in front to small cog in rear, the chain would rub on the inside of the large front ring. I know you should not do cross chaining, but that was the case with this installation. I installed a 110 bb and the rubbing went away due to improved chain line. Now I know you are talking about a triple crank, not a double so your experience will be different. Thought you might want to mix this data into your decision making.
Regardless, love my newly built Bleriot. Maybe the most cost effective Riv ever made...ever again.
