Front derailleur for TA Pro Vis 5

Post by garygkn »

Can anyone recommend a front derailleur for the TA Pro Vis 5 crank set?
TA cyclotouriste cranks.
I have heard that modern front derailleurs foul the crank arm.
Also any recommended set ups for a triple?

Thanks for the offer just returned from Kent. I guess I should really be looking for a triple mech that would work.

Current production Pro Vis 5s have a new forging that spaces the arm out
for modern derailleurs.

Old Pro Vis 5s could use a Simplex derailleur, Velo-Orange has them NOS.
