I was also wondering if anyone sold a production bike, other than schwinn, that used a 15-speed campy triple.

the triple front crank came long before the 6-gang rear cluster. Because there were 4-gang freewheels in the old days, there may have been 3x4 systems. The paramount p15 probabl;y dates to the later 60's
