you should check the chain line before getting to far along. For a double the straight edge check works best. Mount the rear wheel and use a straight edge held against the small (your middle) chain ring the edge should fall in the middle of the FW. There is another way to measure based on the middle of the BB shell , but I can't remember the dimension . Maybe another member can provide that. To me , it looks like the crank is too far out, but I don't run a triple. As far as the tightening of the bottom bracket , make sure the thing is tight or they will loosen at about half way through your ride, never when convenient. Italian BB's are notorious for that!
