Probably shaved off when it was repainted and redecaled.

It should have a little loop for cantilevers similar to a Ritchey.

they are canti studs, not for a U brake right?

my 90ish Salsa has one of those hangers elev12k refers to, it works, but it relies on the slot on the seatclamp.

Might also be worth asking on MTBR VRC forum, there are some very knowlegable chaps on there, but if you do make sure you mention youre going to put loads of purple components on it, and a pair of Spins, theyll love that

LOL!

Yeah we do!

I think it looks rather fetching on the wall. OK, the wife hissed at me like a cornered stoat when she came in and saw it but she might yet come round to the idea. Should I build it or leave it where it is? If it does get built it will be a bit of a slow burner with me picking up parts when suitable ones come up. Curse this website, I only came on here looking for new brake bosses!

What would you put on a classic US steel frame?

I have sent an email to Steve Potts via his website. I hope he replies and isn't too suspicious of a hotmail address. If it is a '91, only canti's would have been around. My Saracen was probably a '91 too and it had a full XTII groupset (black) with the wide profile brakes. These are still going strong. Could it have had a hanger via the seat clamp? Hopefully I will get a reply soon.
