I am sorry, but I have no clue what the color code is. As I recall, it was named something like Green Apple.
I have used an old Campy double front derailleur for triples before. They do not work very well for triples. I would recommend a front derailleur designed for triples.
Thanks for your opinion, but I use NR front derailleurs on most of my old triple crank bikes. They work very well, which is why I am using one on this tandem. It probably has to do with my shifting techniques; I am definitely an old-school friction shifter sort of rider. I have tried more modern front derailleurs designed for triples and can’t get along with them.
