Updating to 10 speed, Have a Question / Problem
Hello all!
I have a nice lugged road frame that I would like to update to 10 speed Campy. I have a complete Campy group (low end, but whatever) sitting in boxes right now, and am all set to rebuild the bike. (Yes, I know about re-spacing the rear, that's covered)
However, I hadn't thought through that the group is for a braze on front der. and the bike does not have a front der. hanger brazed onto the frame. How do I get around this? Can I get a clamp on front der. for 2006 (ish) Campy Mirage? Is there an adapter of some sort?
Thoughts on how to get around this problem would be very welcome. Thanks for your time

Thank you both! I'll see if the 105 clamp on der. that came with the bike will do the trick, and if not, I'll order the part that xB_Nutt suggested.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

There are plenty of generic clamp adapters, in bright and faux carbon, that work on any 28.6 seat tube with about any braze-on FD.
I updated my 1989 steel bike to 10-sp and used a nice clamp adapter that probably cost all of $7 shipped.
