I'm looking for an FD for a two speed crank (53/39t if it matters).
So far everything on the bike is Shimano, but I'm under the impression that with two-speed cranks, you can use either Campy or Shimano - Is this correct?
If so, I'm looking for Shimano 105 or better, or something from Campy at about the same level.
If not, well, anything Shimano 105 or better 😉
If you have pics, that's great; I like to see what I'm buying before I send money. Pics can be sent to [email hidden]

Hello,

A triple front der will also work fine with a double, so keep that in mind.

If you don't need indexed shifting on the front, Practically *ANY* front derailleur will work, even a 25-year old schwinn or suntout.

If using a downtube shifter, it doesn't. If using lever mounted shifting, like STI, it does. Must be shimano.
