I haven't shopped in 18 years. I've always used cheap Shimano models that pull down. I see some pull up. I see a $1,000 model (digital, probably connected to the Internet: Russian hackers could maliciously shift my gears!).

I think I paid < $10 for the current FD. I can't imagine getting better performance from another model: it shifted when I wanted it to. Weight doesn't matter. Clamp-on, alumin(i)um frame, triple, 24-52 tooth. Non-competitive

Is there a reason to buy a pull-up instead?

I used to shop at Bike Stop, which let me specify criteria. They've shut down. I'd like to narrow down my choices to one with a clamp large-enough to fit my frame, a triple that can accommodate my chainrings. Is there an on-line store that allows that?
