Of course, now that I look at the photos of (your?) Calfee it already appears to have an adapter clamp so you should be able to use the K-Edge if they (a) develop one for a triple or (b) if the one they make could be adapted. There are a lot of ways to address this annoyance, just use your imagination.
That my BMC has a braze-on FD on a clamp is sort of an accident, but I found it works with the K-Edge, so I've stuck with it. It is belt-and-suspenders redundant however, which offends my sensibilities. For my built-from-scratch tandem, if I am to have a braze-on FD, I'd like it to be actually brazed-on.
That Calfee in the pic is Calfee's multi-colored, S&S coupled Tetra, on display at Sea Otter.
Before the K-Edge I had protective film around the BB area. Dirt however, got under the edge and was perpetually unsightly. I'm glad to be rid of it.

What type do you have that works with a triple? A Deda Dog Fang?
