When a Dura Ace front derailleur cage has snapped off what is there to do with it? Sell it for the screws and bolts et.c., or is it possible to acquire a new cage and make it new again? The unit does not disassemble (oh for the days of Mavic derailleurs!) as it is factory sealed with pins but no 'c' clips. Any suggestions?

Take the takeoffs off, then...

Heck I'd just buy a new one. Or new to me one.
