Shimano Dura-Ace front derailleur clamp-on, 28.5 mm. Used
Part# FD-60
We believe these are rare, first-generation Shimano Dura-Ace front derailleurs. They were probably made 1973 - 1974. The introduction of Shimano Dura-Ace coincided with Campagnolo's release of its Super-Record group. The high-end bike business suddenly got much tougher.
We have two: Dura-Ace front clamp-ons: #1 | #2
Shimano Dura-Ace front derailleur clamp-on, 28.5 mm #1. Used, $35.00
First generation Dura-Ace parts were the first truly professional components to come from Asia. They would not be the last.
These derailleurs were designed for five and six-speed systems.

Shimano Deore 31.8mm clamp-on front triple derailleur for half-step + granny crankset. Used
This derailleur is made for "half-step plus granny" triple cranksets.
Here's an explanation of half-step + granny gearing from Sheldon Brown:
"In the days of 4- and 5-speed freewheels , 8- and 10-speed bikes were commonly set up with chainwheels that were very close in size, for instance, 46/49, or 47/50. When used with typical freewheels of the era, the difference between the two front gears was about half as large as the difference between adjacent gears on the freewheel. (One reason for this was that early front derailleurs couldn't handle much more than a 3-tooth difference reliably!)
"With half-step gearing, the larger shifts were made with the rear derailleur, and the front was for fine tuning. This allowed an 8- or 10-speed set up to have a reasonable range with fairly close spacing of the gears.
"A variant on the half-step system is "half-step plus granny." This refers to a setup with a triple crank, where the larger two chainrings are close in size, for half-stepping, and with a much smaller "granny" chainring, typically in the 24-28 tooth range. The idea is to use the half-step gears for general cruising, and to have the granny chainring as a "bail-out" gear for the serious hills."
Shimano Deore 31.8mm clamp-on front triple derailleur for half-step + granny crankset #2. Used, $50.00
Note: this derailleur is for "Half-Step" gearing.

Shimano 105 FD-5703 triple 28.6mm/31.8mm clamp-on front derailleur. Lightly used, $65.00/each
The Shimano 105 FD-5703 triple front derailleur is a 10 speed derailleur designed to provide optimal performance for riders who prefer a triple chain ring drive train. By crafting the 105 FD-5703 out of forged aluminum, Shimano was able to maintain a high level of durability and stiffness while reducing the overall weight of the derailleur. Add in a new chain guide shape and a wider inner link design and you've got a derailleur that will deliver you smooth shifting every time.

- This derailleur is mounted by tightening the bottom bracket fixed cup against the plate with the hole. Care must be taken to make sure the derailleur is secured at the correct angle.
The fixed cup goes into the large circular hole. The derailleur is held in place when the cup is tightened.
Here's the derailleur turned around. You can see the derailleur has a brace that rests against the seat tube.

For fun here's an old page from a Sear catalog for a Steyr Austria-made Sears/Free Spirit bike with a Shimano Crane rear derailleur. This should be from sometime in the 1970s.
