No problem.
Current Shimano front derailleurs are total garbage and have a stupid, heavy and UGLY clamp with lame shims to bring it down to 28.6mm tubing.
For $30 you can get something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-NOS-VINTAGE-SHIMANO-105-FRONT-DERAILLEUR-28-6-mm-clamp-FD-1056-DOUBLE-/252712883209?hash=item3ad6dc9409:g:rrYAAOSw4GVYTxhn

Also note that front "double" derailleurs will shift triples JUST FINE. I've got 2 bikes both running doubles up front that have triple rings.
