Which derailleur?
Hi, Can someone explain to me the difference betwen band-on and braze-on Campagnolo front derailleurs? How do I know which one I can use - or have to use - for a Colnago C50? Thanx.

The C50 is carbon fiber, I think, so it would not have a braze-on bracket. Be sure you get the right size clamp for your seat tube.

My C50 has a braze-on front derailleur.
The braze-on types are normal for CF frames. The bracket is fastened to the tube with rivets or screws, not actually "brazed on" as they may be on steel frames.
