Can I swap a triple crank in place of a double?(3 posts)

Can I swap a triple crank in place of a double?Jihv MaBone

I've got an Olmo road bike that I want to put a triple crank on. It was built around '88 or '90 and has down tube shifters. When I replaced the bottom bracket two years ago the only one that would fit (was wide enough) was a Campy Athena Triple. Even with that I had to slightly offset it towards the crank for the chainrings to clear the frame. The current crank is a Galli (42-52).

Will I be able to put a Campy Racing Triple (30-40-50) on and still clear the rear frame? Or, are there some measurments I could take to find out?
seems like a stumper...Jihv MaBone
