Do frames come with a hanger?

I just bought a frame on-line but noticed the picture does not show a hanger on the frame. Do frames usually come with a hanger?

    Yes they do but are not normally fitted as they can get bent in transport.

    Ah that's good to hear. This will be the 1st time I've built a bike.

    2 of the last 3 frames I built up didnt come with hangers an On One Scandal and a Cove handjob XC. The cheapo All Terrain XC frame for £60 did come with a hanger how does that work :?

    Poor stock levels meaning hangers being robbed of frames an staff forgetting to replace them when the new ones come in.

    Do they have interchangeable drop outs?

    Some bikes do.

    Cheeky beggars luckily I had a On One hanger because I already have my own Scandal but the Cove hanger slowed things up for a few days whilst it was ordered. I just thought that was the way it was you dont get a hanger like you dont get pedals on a new bike.

    Without a hanger the frame is not a frame. As it can not be used.

    Robbing bits off bikes/frames is common.
