A Tange Champion No. 2 seat tube should measure 28.6mm (+ paint, and margin of error in measuring a round tube with precision).
I know a 28.6mm clamp-on FD fits my '81 Apollo Imperial (same make, model, year).
I had a 105 28.6 clamp-on FD on there for a while, and now have a Paul SS chainkeeper with a 28.6 clamp, as I've converted it to a 1x6 setup.
Go with that, and I reckon you won't have any problems.
Nice build! The 1055 suits nicely.
How do you like the ride?
