Will a shimano 105 front derailleur for a double chainset work ok with a 2300 shimano 50/34 chainset.

    Yes.
    The only possible problem I can think of is if you're running it as 8 speed then the cage might be a bit narrow.

    Sheldon says:
    "Front derailers don't generally care how many gears you have in back, though models designated for higher numbers of speeds may have slightly narrower cages , so they might be a bit more fussy in adjustment/trim when used with wider chains."
