Hi there. I'm building up a Lemond Maillot Jaune '04 frame. When I went to install the front derailleur (dura-ace 31.8 clamp), I was surprised to find out it wouldn't fit. This seems to be the biggest size I could find from Shimano. Am I missing something? Do I need some kind of adaptor? I've searched for specs on this frame but came up empty. If anyone has any experience with this I'd appreciate it.

Cheers.

Teck923If it's a 13/8" seattube, you need a braze on FD and an adapter clamp(13/8") to mount it on.
