Kestrel 500 Front Derailleur Hanger
Hello:
I purchased an old Kestrel 500 frameset which is missing the hanger for the braze-on front derailleur. Because this frame lacks a seat tube, the hanger bolts onto a tab jutting from from the down tube.
Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement? I've searched online but have only found the rear derailleur hanger. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Ultraman! The mounting holes on the frame are offset and not in a straight vertical line, but for $3, it's worth a shot.
I will contact Kestrel, but they have neither an e-mail address nor a telephone number; only a mailing address.
Thanks again, guys.
