Braze-On Derailleur Issues....

Forgive me, but I'm reposting this question due to lack of specific responses about this issue.

I'm have a difficult time narrowing the gap between the front dérailleur and the largest chain ring on my compact rank to the 1mm-3mm mark(it's a braze-on, so the lowest setting drops it to around 10mm away). Any suggestions on what to do here?

I believe the problem is with the crank being a compact, therefore having a smaller diameter chain ring. If it were bigger, I would not have this issue. I know there are tons of you out there with braze-on frames, so let's settle this once and for all:

Braze-on + Compact = trouble**********
