I bought this MIELE MTB frame, deraillers, brake calipers and seatpost quick release for $10.00 and converted it to a dropbar tourer.

Drivetrain is Old School Shimano DEORE. I have another DEORE front derailler that has the Deer Head on it that I'm going to use instead of the DEORE one that's on there now. The bar-end shifters are ULTEGRA 9-speed and the brake levers are TIAGRA.

There are 9 images of the bikehere.

A nice bike.

Question: Your front derailer appears to be a two speed model. Does it
shift the triple chain ring with no problems?

That's a deep inner cage DEORE TOURING TRIPLE front derailler John. As such it shifts the three rrings fine. The crankset and deraillers are designed to be compatible with each other.

It must be the pictures then - the one my browser shows, next to the
one of the rear derailer, and a larger one below it showing mainly the
chain ring.

The outer lip of the front derailer appears to be much higher then the
large chain ring and the inner lip seems as high as a normal two ring
derailer. In fact the photo seems to show the inner lip almost the
height of the large chain ring.

Thus my question.
