is there a front derailleur clamp that won't mar the frame finish?

i know of, and desire, the parlee one. but i can't bring myself to drop 70 on a clamp.

I would suggest trying a thin piece of the clear plastic tape. that is used to protect against cable rub,

now a lot depends on tube size and clamp size, but in some sits. this could work:

Use a BO type with a Parlee carbon adapter. They are the poop.

Sure it mars the finish.. but.. it'll always be covered up, so..
