Ran a Shimano 5801 (11spd braze on).
I think some of the older Aitheins you had to use a big boi chainring as the braze on was quite high up (limited to 52t!?). This one is fine.
Apart from the fact that all 11 speed front mechs are shit and 9 speed was the peak of technology, any braze on front mech will work fine.
Happy to post to anywhere in UK, with Parcelforce 48 insured.
EDIT: yes, hope BB will fit the frame - BSA threaded.

@Ballyannelad
What front derailleur did you run with it. I read somewhere that you can't fit a Shimano 5800/6800. Sure that's not right? Would you consider posting to Wales? Does the Hope BB fit this frame?
