Has anyone tried converting a mid 70s Campy Record front derailleur to an early 80s braze on mount? I did & the pivot arm is almost rubbing on the outer limit screw. I think it will work but wonder if anyone has experience with this? Remember the Frankenbike at ebay a while back that was an Orange Schwinn Paramount from '73 with updates from the early 80s - fastback seatstays, cable routing in the top tube & braze on mounts. Well the buyer found me & asked for a Campy derailleur from the 70s with a braze mount. This is what i came up with.
