Four Euros for a Front Derailleur
Is that how little demand there is for the poor old front derailleur?!

It's not a part that I can ever remember needing to replace on a bike and if I was building a new bike I would be using 12 speed SRAM.

Counterfeit? Older model?
And 25E for shipping kind of ups the final price.

I've seen that usually front derailleurs are discounted so much because the mounting system is odd. In fact, I believe this fr does not have the tube bracket, but screws directly into the frame. If your frame is tapped for that, then you've found a great bargain.
