Campagnolo Triple Front Derailleur Braze-on

[Spinner]

I'm changing the gearing on my Rambouillet from 9-speed Chorus Double to 9-speed Campy Triple, in part using a recently sourced Comp Triple Rear Derailleur.

Are there any functional differences between the various front derailleur offerings?

Thanks for your input.

I've measured cage width on Campagnolo triple FDs and found 9 speed and 10 speed to be the same. I think any of the 9/10 models would work fine.

In fact, considering the 'ratcheting friction' design of the LH lever, you can use ANY triple front der designed for the chainrings(IOW, can't use a deep cage front der designed for a 52/39/30 on a 52/42/30..long, deep inner cage hits middle ring)..but yup, Comp, Record, Centaur, Daytona, Chorus, Veloce, shimano(), any front der will work fine.

Thanks to all who replied. I now have some solid direction.

In fact....On one of my bikes....I'm currently running a Centaur 10's triple Crankset with 30-42-50 (Stronglight 50) and a Campy triple FD of same era. I had originally thought this was not going to work because the "grooves" in the FD would be in wrong place for 8 tooth difference between 2 large rings....but nope....work fine, and I'm not even putting the FD higher up than normal. Running a 12-30 10's Centaur cassette in rear with a med cage Campy 10's RD. Could run a 52 front ring, but don't really need or want a 52X12 top gear.
