Yes, I am using the 2008 record braze on derailleur.

The Parlee Derailleur Clamp is designed to be used with a braze-on front derailleur. Parlee makes three sizes of this clamp; 34.9mm (1.374 in), 31.8mm (1.25 in) and 28.6mm (1.125 in). I measured my Dragonfly frame at the derailleur location and it measured 1.321 in. I ordered the 34.9mm clamp and made a shim the same size as the clamp height out of.020 aluminum I purchased at the local hobby shop. I cut the shim about .375 in. shorter than the inside circumference of the parlee clamp, and formed it abound a 1 inch broom handle. I put a dab of Tax Carbon Assembly lube on all mating surfaces and then attached the shim and clamp. It worked great. Prior to purchasing the Parlee Clamp I would measure the diameter of your tube and go from there. There are two (2) places that I know of that sells this clamp. universalcycles.com and fairwheelbikes.com.
