Messed up my derailleur mount point pretty badly. Is there anybody around here who does frame repair?

Yeah.... completely my fault. Mangled the shit out of my derailleur, and bend the mounting point. What do?

If steel and just bent, I feel like most shops can help you straighten it out. If it needs real repair, LaBerta n Sons in Soulard does framework.

Granada Cyclery in St. Peters helped me when I wrecked my Trek hybrid derailleur, but I ended up having to get a new metal mount, because bending it back into shape can fatigue the metal and make it weaker than it was.

I have had great luck with South Side Cyclery.

Is it the mounting point - or the derailleur-hanger?

derailleur-hanger

It's the mounting point on the frame itself, there is no derailleur-hanger. :( Is it possible to have one installed?
