Size of front derailer for Look frame
I'm building up a 2004 Look KG 451 and need to find the size of the front derailer. One thing I have seen says that a 28mm front derailer is needed. I know that is an old French standard, but I'm not sure that's still used.
Does anyone know for sure?
Thanks!

Excuse the obvious, but why don't you just measure your frame's seat tube at the FD's location.
There are basically three FD clamp sizes; 1-1/8" (28.6 mm), 1-1/4" (31.8 mm) and 1-3/8" (34.9 mm) You will often see these sizes rounded off as 28, 32 and 35 mm in catalogs.
