Herein lies the problem though.....
You are absolutely right in terms of choice and can't argue with your thinking on the front derailleur part.
aerozine if you want weenie
And here is the real issue. Aerozine doesn't make a 28.6mm collar clamp, neither does Tune or Schmolke or Carbozine and Google doesn't seems to be helping me find anything similarly weenie.
So I am stuck with Thomson or some hideous pattern part which will fuck with the feng shui of my bike
fidbod-
Ah my bad.
Pro one looks nice

Why are you buying a steel bike then attaching weight weenie stuff to it?

hippy
I'd agree with bar and stem, but do have a soft spot for the collars.
Herein lies the problem though, thomson to you is bike cancer whilst I know plenty of people who view almost all design of carbon collar as an affront to humanity and therefore whatever we chose would be wrong for someone. Also, the reason we didn't add a braze on for front mech is so people could run it 1x without it looking like the wrong bike, so those people would be paying money for something they don't want if we added a front mech adaptor to the build. I see the logic in things people need being available at purchase though, just need to work out the most logical way to do it.
