Subject: [CR]Clearance

Though not really on topic, this comes up when putting together a vintage bike. When you have the correct spindle length, how much clearance is "normal" between the front derailleur cage and the inside of the right crankarm when the front derailleur is all the way out (chain on big ring, smallest cog)? This would be for a double chainring. I'm sure there is some variance, but what is a good average?
