Try it with something modern and good, like a Sachs-Maillard 6-speed. Your wheel seems to be set up for 126 and a 6-speed, anyway.
Yes, I have a Shimano 6 speed that I will probably put to use. It still sits pretty far in though, far enough in that the chain makes a clicking noise leaving the lower pulley in the middle chain ring of the triple. It might be a spindle length issue? It's the original stronglight BB, maybe not for a triple.
