Seriously, the braze on FD with the clamp adapter is really a more sensible approach both for the manufacturer and the consumer. Cheaper to produce, very versatile, easy to match up your frame tube diameter with available clamps. Likely what is in store in future for all FDs.

Nothing at all to complain about there.
