Have you considered a Campy-looking compact crankset? Some of the older fluted style Japanese cranks mimic the Campagnolo design and have a smaller BCD for compact size rings. I used an SR Apex on my Cinelli that I rode in L'Eroica, fitted with 48/34 rings:
Oh my gosh - this is so pretty !
Given the nature of the frame I have (mid 90's with 130 spacing) --- I was trying to stick with C-Record and later styling --
I don't even know why I care - I know its not a '58 Corvette or anything, -- I just figured with the brifters and 8/9/10 speed groups, the slightly later model look of the drop molded cranksets used from '88ish and up were what I was trying to adhere to
-- Like has already been chimed in - I already have triple parts in multiples - may as well use 'em I guess
Gives me a little impetus to keep losing weight --- I never complained about pushing a 12-23 with a 53/39 BITD --- might give me some more impetus to keep the diet tight so I can handle a 12-28 today with a "normal" crankset
