Hi guys, I have this 2014/2015 Felt AR5 Road bike and its missing a front derailleur as you can see from the picture.
The groupset I’m using is the Shimano Tiagra. I wanted to ask what type of front derailleur I should get as a clamp on would not work as the body of the bike is aerodynamic and the body is not rounded.
The spacing for the 2 screw holes is around 26-27mm, so what should I get to replace the missing front derailleur?

You need to either contact felt and get info on where to get a front derailleur hanger, or you need to do some research yourself which one to get. Without a front hanger, you can’t mount a front derailleur

Someone has taken the front derailleur hanger off the frame. They can be a nightmare to get hold of the right one to fit. I’ve got an old pinarello in my shop, it’s been here for a year or so, I just can’t get the correct size to fit it. You could try contacting Felt, who may help. Best bet is trawling Ali express for front derailleur hangers, finding one with the same bolt hole dimensions and hoping it fits. If you are lucky, Felt will have used a fairly common one. If you are unlucky, you won’t find one!
