Mounting Rear Derailleur
I just bought a 81 schwinn sports tourer whith the cheap stamped dropouts. How does the deralilleur attach to the thing? There is a hole in the RD that looks like a small bolt goes through but none in the frame. Am I missing a part?

No, you buy the thing brian linked to, though the link is broken. Click here. It bolts onto the dropout.

See if this link works. You need an adapter claw. Most cheaper derailleurs are already mounted on one, so maybe a local shop has one they can give you.

Do it right. Or tell me where you're buying stuff - I'll buy stock!
