Sorry for the slow reply guys. I have taken some pictures of the crankset to hopefully be able to show the condition better. I do think what I was attributing to bad chain rings, I can now say is most likely a bad front derailleur. The front derailleur will not adjust on the "high" side so it essentially pushed the chain off the ring when shifted into third. When shifted into second it goes on the largest chain ring.
Can anyone help me to find a front derailleur? I found this this one on ebay which I believe might work: New Shimano Altus FD M310 6 28 6 34 9mm 3x7 8 Speed Low Clamp Front Derailleur | eBay
