Subject: need some bike tech help...rear derailleur hanger needed

So, I ripped my derailleur off my bike on Saturday, and my LBS says they are unsure what hanger goes on a Mercier Aquila.  Are there really so many options to choose from?  I have until Thursday to either get my bike fixed, rent one, or bag the entire race, which is an expensive and cr@ppy option, since I am traveling.

Call the company directly, tell them which frame and ask if they could overnight the hanger.

Didn't see your model, but check here:

There is at least an email to send requests to.

Try http://derailleurhanger.com/

They don't look to have yours listed, but would be worth a call.

They overnighted mine, great company to work with.

Good luck,

Problem is they do not have a call-in number....everything is done via email with a 24hr SLA for returning the email.  They have the hanger for sale on their site, but it is a 5-7 day turn-around, and they do not have an expedited shipping option.  I'm having to REALLY use my relaxing breathing techniques today.  :P

Go to a decent LBS. That looks like a pretty standard hangar. The dropouts look very similar to many other bikes and I'd bet a different brand would work just fine.
