if that Stronglight 93 came like the one on my ‘75 Super Course, you wouldn’t need a longer BB spindle/axle. The chain guard occupies the outermost position of a Triple. One need only obtain a 122 BCD chain ring ( no small feat these days...) and arrange as desired. The smallest chainring available is a 37 tooth version currently made by BikeForum member Jon Vara. .
