I agree wholeheartedly that it would have been a lovely frame with complete braze ons, but the fact was that when I built it I had no intentions of ever selling it. I was going to run it as a singlespeed anyway and the last thing I wanted was for two braze on posts to be sticking out of the frame where my knees could catch them in the event of a crash, and I didn't want to run it with ugly down tube cable bosses on it. The mech hanger had been bent a couple of times according to the previous owner (who used to race the frame) and so it made sense to remove it if I was only ever going to run the frame as a singlespeed/fixed.
