What is your chainline measurement?
Is the Q of the crankset equally distributed left and right?
I appreciate your comment about the FD travel limits, but I think we can't really judge that if you're not using a triple FD - I'd expect they have different travel limits than the double FDs.
Frame is Vitus 997 OCT. Appx 1997-ish French bike.
Q is slightly more on drive side, by 2-3 mm I estimate.
Can't say about the chain line as I haven't a cassette yet, hence have not installed a chain. Eyeballing from above, it looks like it will be okay. Not perfect.
I assume there was a Record triple FD in the early 2000s period, but I'm not wanting to have to find one, so I hope the double works.
