Thanks for your input. May I ask what team ran a clamp on FD with a green MXL?

I asked for another photo of the BB, though my eye can't see any letter on the left side. Probably you guys have better eye than me 😂




And this is the fd hanger. Looks fine though, the seller also informs it works perfectly. Might be an issue for purist, but I'll take this frame for the function and performance.

Anyway anyone here know if this green is a repaint? Found some similar paintjob with red and blue color, but never find this paintjob with green color
