Here is an old thread with some useful info on how to get that FD to work right on that bike. Threads like this really ought to be in a special C&V folder (a kind of a sticky).

No doubt. I didn't have a known French diameter front derailleur, and the Vx clamp doesn't come close to bottoming out. Also, it didn't show any gaps between the clamp and the seat tube. I think it should be good until I can find a proper replacement or construct a shim.
