Hi, I'm looking for some advice. I'm fixing up my old bike with some new parts and have hit a bit of a wall with the rear deraiileur.
This is the new rear derailleur:

And this is the old Avanti frame: which has nearly a horizontal dropout:

I have been searching for a long time looking for a derailleur hanger on the internet but nothing looks like the one that came off the bike originally http://www.flickr.com/photos/52729336@N08/4855887014/ . It would be perfect if I could continue to use the old hanger with the new derailleur but I am unable to remove it from the old hanger.

Any advice would be awesome thanks, it saves me guessing from internet photos and buying something that won't fit properly.

Cheers
