what is this part used for?

It's for mounting a Shimano e-type front derailleur to a frame not designed
to accept one. It could probably also be adapted to take a pulley to allow
a top-pull derailleur to be used as bottom-pull, or vice versa.

Thanks,

It lets you mount an "E" type front derailleur on a bike that wasn't
designed for it. It takes the place of the threaded boss on the seat
tube. See

It looks like a clamp to mount a "frame-mounted" front derailleur
onto a frame that doesn't have a threaded mounting boss. I think.

It mounts on you seatpost like a seat clamp, so that you can put a
waterbotle or something on your seatpost.

As its filed under 'derailers', I'm guessing that the responses above are
accurate, however, it just may work to add water bottle bosses where none
previously were. hmmm....

Might be useful to mount a friction shifter lever in a strange place,
too, but it'd probably need a little modifying to make it work.
Still, when trying to come up with solutions for problems on strange
hardware setups, it may be worth remembering. (I've seen some *very*
clever "misuses" of common hardware on HPVs.)

It is used for unspeakable acts of sexual perversion, or an "E"
type front derailleur hanger. Your choice. -- Jay Beattie.

Hmm, is that available in a larger clamp size?
