If you can solve the common problem of front derailleur angle on small wheelers with a braze-on bracket that incorporates the necessary back-angle, why couldn't you use a braze-on derailleur bracket with the opposite angle, tipping the derailleur forward a bit, to correct for a too-shallow seat angle? Or if not a braze-on bracket, how about a stub front derailleur mounting tube set at the correct angle, as found on RANS crank-forward bikes like this: http://www.ransbikes.com/Fusion-N.htm ? The Fusion-N looks like its seat angle is down around 45 degrees or less, and it has a front derailleur. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
