Most triple front derailleurs are made for a specific combination of chainring sizes. Your best bet is to search for one whose spec sheet lists your exact chainring sizes. You'll find an assortment from Shimano, Campagnolo, SRAM, and Microshift. If possible try to match the shifter brand and approximate year to the derailleur, but don't get hung up on it.
