clamp-on to braze-on Campy conversion
Hello friends,
Is there a kit to convert from clamp to braze for a Campy Super Record 11 speed front derailleur? TIA
It's for a vintage bike with a front mech. bracket and I'd like to keep it intact if possible.

You need to find the seat tube diameter, then just search for:
Front Derailleur Braze On (clamp,adapter,bracket)
You can find Campagnolo brand in 31.8mm, 32mm, and 35mm. Possibly more. But, the brand really isn't necessary.

Thanks for the reply Clifford but I currently have the clamp-on version and wish to switch to braze-on for my vintage bike frameset with attached bracket.

Ok.
I think I've looked at those derailleurs and they don't appear as if they would come apart easily.
If you want to do it, I'd look for a worn/damaged derailleur as a parts donor.

In my case, decided the front derailleur was a "wear item", and chose to use a Chorus derailleur.

Thanks again,
I will widen my search for damaged mechs for donor parts as it doesn't appear that Campy made kits to go from Clamp-on to Braze-on.
Going the Chorus route makes sense.

I think Campagnolo made that impossible circa 2008
They moved from hex bolts to rivets in the last iteration of the 10S derailleur.
Picture shows 200710S -200810S -2009 11S from left to right.
