Hi,
I'm a slightly overweight 36 year old trying to get back into mountain biking after about 20 years away!
Recently bought a Lapierre Zesty (think it's a 2011 model) which I really love.
It was supplied with a single chain ring fitted, but with a big and small ring and front derailleur in a bag. I've tried running it single ring, but the hills are too steep here (Holmfirth, Peak District) and I've come off a couple of times because I can't maintain a decent speed up the rocky trails.
I can't work out how to fit the derailleur. It's a Shimano FD M770 10, which I assume but can't be certain has been previously fitted.
I've attached a picture of the mounting bit on the bike (sorry it's so dirty!).
The holes on the derailleur don't line up with those on the frame.
Thanks in advance,
Rich
