Because I've just installed brand new cranks (that were meant for the Tripster), having got sick of dealing with her old FSA ones and I'd rather not buy yet another set of cranks, especially non-Shimano. The new FD is an annoying but probably more future-proof purchase. I can sell the DA FD or maybe stick it back in the Shiv's parts box in case I ever decide to have a go at the LEJOG record again (ROFL!)
Maybe, but it's a new FD either way, just maybe a cheaper used solution.
These cranks were originally bound for my Tripster and I THINK that has a newer Ultregra FD but presumably would've had the same problem, but in Poland, so it's kinda nice I found it here where I assume it'll be cheaper to buy a new one.
