I might add that the vintage front derailleurs seem to usually be lighter (If that matters) and, to my eye, far prettier (definitely matters) than the new stuff. I ditched the stock front derailleur on my Atlantis simply because it was just too ugly for words. On top of that, vintage perform just fine and probably better than the new stuff if one likes to choose non-standard chainring combinations for truly customized gearing. About the only time I’ve experienced any advantage to a sculpted cage is shifting a triple on a tandem.
