FWIW-
I'm really disappointed that I don't think I'll be able to get the DA 7803 FD to work with my existing gearing setup.
It appears the inner plate of the cage reaches down below and hits the middle chainring- so the cage cannot get over to the big chainring.
I realize that a half-step gearing situation is completely unnecessary with a 10 speed rear end, so I'm going to have to do some searching for either a smaller middle ring, or decide on a different FD to use.
The candidates IMO are the stock Simplex Super LJ, a Suntour Mountech and a Suntour XC Pro.
I'm leaning towards the Mountech.

Are these in an online photo album?
If you have something like Photobucket- there's some windows on the right side of the image, you can click on the address there and it'll copy the link with address and image tags for you- and you just paste it in the forum.
If you have something different, Right click on the image, go to "copy image location" with Mac, or "properties" and copy the address in the url field. Then you click on the "insert image" icon (it looks like a yellow square with a mountain and sun in it) paste that address you copied into the window and click go.
If you have the picture on your desktop, or pictures folder- or anywhere locally on your computer, there's a way to load it as an attachment- but I haven't done that in a few years.
