That gearing is tight. You will probably have trouble finding replacement chainrings, but you can always swap out the freewheel if you want more range. Something like 13-15-17-20-23-26 work work well with your 52-42 ringset.

Although I generally like Campagnolo components, I am not a big fan of Victory/Triomphe, primarily for aesthetic reasons.
