I am finding a bit of humor in this also. Chris, I can laugh along with you. I received several emails from some of you folks. Every one told me that it was a perfectly okay to hack saw the derailleur hanger off on some bikes as it did not detract from the bike at all. I was told that in some cases it made the bike more period correct. I guess I learn something new every day. I wonder what kind of looks I would get if I bring my good ol Craftsman hack saw to the Cirque and walk around eyeing D hangers? I am going to try and make it this year and will look for some volunteers. Don't worry, I,m pretty good with new blade ;)
