Derailleur hanger

I have an old bike with 5-speed SIS mech. The frame doesn't have a
derailleur hanger, instead the SIS derailleur has its own hanger attached
and just bolts into the rear drop-outs. Is is possible to get one of these
little hanger doobries onto which I can attach a derailleur would normally
attach to the frame's hanger? If so do they have a name?

Cheers. Shows how many aluminium bikes I have! So, all I need to do now is
work out which one I need.

You need the one that comes "free" with a cheapo 5 speed SIS from
Halfords. It was years ago when I bought one but it did indeed come
with a bracket such as you describe. Buying the whole mech may well be
less than paying for a CNC'd part ??

There is a Shimano part which is exactly like the top part of the SIS
changer but has a threaded hole for mounting a more expensive changer.
Your LBS will deny all knowledge but press them to ring the Shimano
importer (who's name escapes me). They are about £2.70.

(Special footnote for Colin: I know this because I have just bought one
to upgrade the Dutch Speed Bike from SIS to Deore).

Actually, it might have been from the "tourney" mech. But it's equally
as cheap (if it isn't the same).

If anybody understands what I have said, please explain it to me ;-)

Thanks. I will be visiting my LBS later this week. He is already trying to
obtain several knowledge-denied products from various importers!

Yes, almost there now. I knew I should have taken the easy route rather
than trying to switch various bits between three bicycles.

See also the "adaptor claw" on

which is exactly what the thing I bought looks like.

I had "proper" dropouts brazed on. Didn't cost much, but now I'm
converting the bike to fixed so the hanger will be a useless appendage.
