wrk101 have you had any problems with the spacing between the compact chainrings not meshing up with the existing chains or shifters. I didn't know you could foul up a friction shifter
You can always run higher speed chain if you want (9 speed). When I have used modern cranksets, I tend to do it on 9 speed bikes. I am running 8 speed chain on one of them, nine on the other. There are various discussions on chain speed choice in the mechanics forum.
And you can always run a vintage touring triple, and just remove the smallest ring.
