It is rare too see a steel bike with a replaceable derailleur hanger. I have read that replaceable hangers are there to protect the derailleur in case of a crash not the frame. The logic been that it is cheaper to replace the hanger that the rear derailleur. Nowadays at home we have all steel bike that came without them and this does not make me loose any sleep.
