Hi everyone,
first of all, I'm new to the forum, but have been passively reading it for quite some time now. Thanks a lot for all the great information on here!
Now to my question:
I bought a 1991 Koga Miyata Terrarunner frame, and I'm not sure how fitting the front derailleur works. The cable comes from above over the top tube, but it seems to use a down pull front derailleur. There is a screw behind the bottom bracket between the chainstays, where the inner cable seems to attach. There also seems to be a special screw, that attaches to the derailleur itself, where the outer cable goes in.
There are some photos of this in this thread:

Especially the photos in this post are interesting:

I have just the bare frame, and I have no idea how this works. It would be really nice if someone could shed some light on this for me.
Best,
Roy
