Can't praise the RH double in 42/26 enough. I have tried many FD's and like the IRD Sub C. with the 42 tooth large chainring doubles I've used.
The other crank I like due to it being a no compromise low Q crank is the 86bcd Sugino Apex. 28 teeth is the smallest inner chainring for that spider when used as a double. I believe I posted about the ball and cup BB works for this set up on a 130 OLD frame. I have used XCD cranks as a triple, but these days I'm riding doubles on all road bikes.
