Use any clamp..Problem solvers, Miche, Campag,even (gasp) shimano if 31.8/34.9 BUT Campag one is best, IMHO.

No worries, some frames actually come with their own clamp. My Cyfac did.

Ok. I'll confess the reason I may not go Campy is cuz it appears it only comes in black from the few searches I did.
Just can't have that with my alloy Athena and I don't wanna do the oven cleaner thing.

been using older (pre-2015) braze on FDs with generic clamps bought on eBay for several years now. I found it rather difficult to find a 28.6mm clamp and am not a fan of using bigger clamps with spacers.

You'll be fine. Currently using a Shimano clamp with no issues. Bike hasn't burst into flames or anything.

Hey Veloo, what size clamp are you looking for?

Ummm, that's the other thing.
Don't actually need one now. I just plan on getting Athena silver parts before they are off the market and I figured a braze on was safer way to go.
