Modern front derailleurs work just fine with triple cranksets. The Suntour
Cyclone II is OK, but I've found that the Suntour Mountech
is really great, and it's cheaper. My roommate has a Dura-Ace, and
he says it's fine, but it comes close to rubbing with really low gears
(<27 or so).
I agree, older cheap front derailleurs weren't so great, but they've
gotten a lot better.
