Athena 11, Centaur 10 FD 28.6 mm seat tube questions

Do these modern (2009) Campy FDs, accept older 28.6 mm clamps
(cannibalized from a 5-10 year old Daytona, Veloce or Mirage FD)? If
so, are the FD bodies the same and it doesn't matter whether I order a
braze on or a 32 mm clamp on style?

Unfortunately no. Starting in 2008, all Campagnolo front derailleurs
are permanently attached to the clamp(31.8 and 34.9 only. I guess
Campagnolo doesn't think steel frames exist) or the brazeon tab. Get a
brazeon and then an aftermarket or Campagnolo clamp(again, only in
31.8 or 34.9). Problem solvers is the nes I use for 28.6mm.

I'll just throw in my experience that if you cut up a plastic patch
kit box, the two long sides together are just about the perfect
height, length and thickness to make a 28.6-31.8 shim. The material
is flexible to bend around the tube, but is not compressible, so it
doesn't squish. I know Campy specs a longer BB for triples with OS
seat tubes, and this is basically making it a 32mm seat tube, but I've
had no problems hitting the small ring of a triple on my PX-10, which
has such a shim, even with a 110mm BB.
