It depends on the frame. Does the frame have an integrated braze-on clamp?

How do I go about checking? I will be buying the frame. Do I have to wait for that to get here before I can find out?

Throw the stick!!!!
Just give the manufacturer a call, they should be able to answer your question right away.

Since it's a CF frame, it's very likely the system used is a clamp.

My CF '07 madone has a "braze-on" for the front derailleur. It's not actually brazed on, of course, it is actually screwed in. But it isn't a clamp.

Typically it can be a braze-on, clamp 31.6 or 34.9. I've seen people buy the braze-on, and get the appropriate clamp size depending on the seat tube diameter.
