Have you talked to your trek dealer? They may offer you a discount on a replacement frame.
I'm not any good at posting pictures, but the damage consists of the bottom half of the derailleur's bolt hole is broken off, that's the only damage to the frame. BTW, this frame has vertical droupouts, which likely complicates things as for adapting something like the Suntour Claw. I can send pictures to an address, but don't know how to post here.
Thanks, Steve
