My French double cranks tend to typically need 118mm spindles. The Shimano DA7400 double crank that came with one of my bikes I bought last year was at 113mm. I'm thinking that your Sugino triple might need a 118 to 120mm? Again, check around, the internet can be your friend for information.,

More like 124-127mm for a sugino English thread Triple. See Sheldon Brown's site.
