Which front mech ?
Hi All.
I am currently re-building an old Raleigh Pioneer 120 frame into a city bike, i.e for commuting etc, as the entire drive train was toast when I rescued it I have started again from scratch and the last piece of kit I need to consider is the front derailleur.
I have rebuilt using a 53/39 double crank set with a 6 speed 14/28 Shimano freewheel on the rear running through a Shimano RD TX31 derailleur with grip shifts on straight bars for comfort. I have road tested the set-up and I am happy with the ratios as they are as it makes for an easy ride.
What front derailleur would the members of this forum suggest? It needs to be suitable for bottom pull control and 28.6mm band on fitment, it will be run through a friction shift twist grip, I would like it to be Shimano if possible to complete the set.
