My Motobecane Grand Jubile currently has TA Professional cranks with 36-51 chainrings, and a 14-32 6-speed Shimano ramped-cog freewheel. The Jubilee short-cage derailleur (on a Huret dropout) shifts it just fine for the most part. It does have trouble doing the large-large combination, but I never use that on any bike anyway. I'm pretty impressed how that little bitty thing handles the big spread.
