hi im looking for a shimano 105 triple chainset.i have a vitus virage but it has a stronglight compact triple chainset with a shimano 105 front derailler but the derailler is not shifting into the big ring ,so im hoping the problem is the stronglight and the shimano are not really compatible.:cool:

Are you sure the front derailler is compatible for a triple chainset? had the same problem buying my new frame took it to my local shop and the put a spacer in the bottom bracket. Cant use the small chainring though.
