M571 31.8mm high mount top-pull front derailleur help

[mezzanine]

Hi,

Hardly any 98+ bikes seem to be compatible with a FD-M571 31.8mm, high mount top-pull front derailleur. I actually can't find one mainstream bike so if you know of one let me know.

I thought I found a few but they are all 34.9mm seat tube clamp sizes - see pics for inspiration

Help find me a bike for my mech

Re:

Orange P7, if it needs to be full suspension look at pre 2009 Turner 5 Spot.

Thanks for the suggestions. Oh the Turner Flux/ 5 Spot is a good shout but just checked the pre 2009 ones back to Horst Link versions are all 34.9mm - at least that's what it says on mtbr. I should of said it's mainly a list of full suspension bikes that are compatible I'm looking for as you might as well run a normal top swing on a hardtail for looks and being slightly stiffer.

Still my list of linkage bikes that use top pull and 31.8mm seems to be none.

Re:

Just get a different derailleur a lot simpler
