With this info, JB's suggestion is mine as well. You can easily use a 38/52 combo w/o changing anything else. I've got a 38t inner ring, but a quick search shows nothing smaller than 39x130 readily available today.
The next option would be to get ahold of a "standard" mtn crank (now showing up on road bikes as a "compact" road crank) with a 110mm bolt pattern. Then you can leave off the granny ring & use either a 38x110 inner ring (still found everywhere) or a 36x110 inner. I don't know how the shift will behave from 36t to 52t. (Half-step/granny gearing jumps can be bigger than this, so it might work just fine.) 36t to 50t shifting would work w/o concern.
Even if you stick with two rings, using a different crank may mean a new BB or simply an added spacer.
