Do these modern (2009) Campy FDs, accept older 28.6 mm clamps

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 should add that an older Campagnolo FD will work fine with 11s,
actually, any FD will work since Campagnolo is once again, a
ratcheting feriction LH shifter.

Thanks Peter. I read your response to mean that I can use a 2005
Centaur 10 speed FD with my 2000 Daytona 28.6 clamp with a 2009 Athena
front shifter and CT crank?

Yessir, no problem. We have a demo bicycle with a 10s Record CT crank,
about a 2006 FD(for double, not CT), 2009 Chorus 11s levers/chain,
works just fine.
