I have the same problem on a bike that I just (almost) finished building up. In my case, however, my FD is not a braze-on, so I can't use Danno's suggestion. The bike is a hybrid-touring thing (Sora FD, Sugino 26-36-46 crank). Also, it isn't as close to fitting as Fredo's situation. Basically, the water bottle boss is smack dab in the middle of where I want to mount the FD. Mounting below is way too low, and mounting above is too high, though it almost works (moving from the middle to the big ring works about half the time. The other half it either won't go, or pops off to the crank side. ) Any suggestions?
