hey all. I've got a 1998 GT backwoods frame that I need a Rear Mech Hanger for. I have had nothing but hassle trying to locate one and everywhere I try says they don't do them. Here is a pic of where it would go and here is the pic of a Hanger that looks to be the closest match (from goldtec...check out the link)...anyone know of where I can get one?

Have you looked here?

http://www.derailleurhanger.com/

I have no experience with that site, but it certainly looks legit. If you can't find what you need, you might be able to buy one that's bigger and cut it down with a dremel. That one looks pretty big and complicated, though...

do you think that will fit the frame? looks the same as the one from goldtec, and I'd get it but I don't want to find it doesn't fit etc...
