I'm having a particularly maddening time figuring out the right setup for a bike I'm putting together. I have a 1995 Fuji Team bike frame with a 28.6mm downtube and no braze-on connector.
I also have a new Shimano 105 Triple Crankset. The rear derailleur is from a single group, but the front derailleur is a 34.9mm. So, obviously I need a new derailleur. Oh, the rear is a 9-speed.
What specific derailleur do I need to purchase? Do I need to buy a braze-on one and a separate clamp or are there places that still sell 28.6? Lastly there seem to be different types of triple derailleurs out there. What the heck is a flatbar derailleur?
Sorry if these questions are a little dumb.
