Shimano 105 Triple Front Derailleur - 28.6mm Clamp-On - Black.

All my other components are black and my LBS can't find one in black, so I thought I'd ask y'all :)

Know where I could buy one? :)

Thanks man, but knowing me, I'd fvck it up somehow.

I'd rather have a silver component than ruin it.

No, seriously, I'm an idiot. Last night, I was working on my bike in the family room. I need something to hold up a part while I detached it. I grabbed what was close to me, turned it on it's side to get the right height and proceeded to work.

The thing I grabbed and laid down was my wife's wine luggage holding wheeled bag... she left one of the wine bottles open and 500ml of red wine came pouring on the carpet.

I am a 'tard.

So are the hookers on Colfax, but eww. Besides, it says 6-8speed compatible, so I assume that would not work on a 9-spd drivetrain?

Thanks tho!

Pepe hooked me up with a hard to find black rear 105 awhile back. Ask him.

That derailleur makes my brain cry.

Did you check eBay maybe?

yeah, but I need 28.6mm clamp and could only find 31.8mm Clamp. No BOs either.

Thanks tho, cuz I'm dumb enough to forget that.

You could always get a braze-on, and get an adaptor from Shimano. That's what I did with my new frame. The adaptor clamp would be silver though...

Maybe bogey's shop will have one that I can buy.

Thank you, yeah, but I think aesthetically, that'd be less pleasing than a silver derail?

You had some respect for me previously?

Neat.

Looking through shimano's site, there doesn't appear to be a black road front derailleur. The Ultegra is as close as it gets.

They used to make a black 9spd 105 group, that's what he's looking for.
What about an FSA? Are you running compacts?

1) Such a thing exists.
2) You actually own it.
3) You actually use it...

I think the excess of the 80s might be coming back - starting with you.

Yuppie. :monkeydance:
