Meanwhile the humble Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) is just out on the sideline quietly being adopted by multiple companies. The UDH is the silent hero we need.
Seriously, if you snap a derailleur hanger and can't find one or machine a new one your options are to either become Andrew "Single Speed Unicorn" Major or toss the whole frame. I am saying goodbye to an old Apollo road frame from the 80's because of this. UDH and enough stock to supply a bikepocalypse would have prevented this waste.
P.S.
Mr.Major, sorry to use you as an example, I actually like your builds if for no other reason than they are different and thoughtful.
