I don't know how big you are. I am 6' 2" 180 and have never had any problems with my PXs. The 73 takes some pretty hard riding.
The hanger was probably tapped out for a standard rear mech; a Simplex hanger has no threads, but can be tapped out and filed at the bottom to accept a regular derailleur.
