Shimano 105 Front Derailleur Question

Hey all,

I am in the process of doing my first bicycle build up. I'm trying to install a Shimano 105 Front Derailleur on my Kona Sutra '06 frame, and I can't find the right place to mount it correctly. According to the specs for this frame model and year, this is the correct front derailleur to install. There is a brazed on vertical rectangular piece in the spot that it seems like it should go. What should I do?

Can anyone help me on this next step?

Thanks.

Yiannis

You need a braze on front derailleur, rather than clamp on.
