Probably makes a difference whether it's a double or triple. I bought one of the Grand Cru doubles this past year and I love it. It went on to a Rambouillet with 130mm spacing (well…132.5mm I guess they call it) along with a 119mm PW BB and everything fits together just fine. In fact, VO recommends a 118mm for this crankset, but recommends a 124mm for the triple, so if that's what you've got I'd be inclined to trust their advice. With the BB pretty much centered in the BB shell both crank arms measure just about the exact same distance from their respective chain stays. And I just checked - VO still has their blue light special for the double marked down to $140 from the usual $190 (unfortunately, I bought mine before the price went into effect).
