Can these brake bosses be unscrewed?

[hunterst]

Hi

I have a Kona lavadome - 2005

I am running it with discs and would really like to remove the old brake bosses. I am not sure if these are removable.

Can anyone offer any advice - will these come out or am i stuck with them?

Dont want to ruin a perfectly good frame in case i decide to sell it on at some point.

Thanks

Stuck with . Disc's are for motor vehicles you could get a welder to un-weld them

bah!

I was sort of hoping the bosses might screw out but leave the stubs on the frame - oh well

Thanks for the reply

steel forks so unlikely to be removable plus there are no flats on them.

If you plan to get rid of them, remove them entirely by grinding them off. I did this to rear boss mounts on Al Bianchi frame.

You can't "un-weld" them - except with a hacksaw and a file.......
