Front derailleur boss height
Anybody know the standard height for a front derailleur boss from the bottom bracket center to the center of the boss? I tried finding this but can't seem to.
Any help appreciated!

One could probably figure it out.
What range of large chainring sizes are you designing the frame for?
46T, 48T, 50T, 52T, 54T? Range? Road vs MTB?

Its all over the place from around 135 to the 150's depending on the large chainring size. I used a braze on with my first frame and never again. Band clamp braze on adapters are available for nearly every front derailleur and allow much more adjustment of height and rotation.
