Feel free to disregard if you've already scored. But I generally want to know what chainrings somebody's shifting, and maybe a little bit about the frame, before matching them with a front derailleur. Yeah, most anything can shift most anything, but if you're running a subcompactish 46/30 or such, one of the newer fders designed for smaller outer rings might work better. Shifting can be a little cleaner when the cage radius matches the rings better, and the shorter cages can help avoid grief. Like, fer instance, if you're trying to run a smaller outer ring on a bike with above-bb der cable guides, sometimes a longer vintage fder cage rear section hits the rder cable before you can get the fder low enough over the outer ring. Ask me how I know....
I'm thinking you were looking for subcompact cranks, but I'm fuzzy on what you actually landed, and can't recall what frame all this stuff is going on.
