They look ugly and don't serve your purpose.So what's the point in them being there?

This was the wifes sister in a conversation about me! As for the lugs Chop 'em!

You'd think so! But it only takes a little slip of the grinder, and it's bye bye seatstay.

yes - that thought does play on your mind a little ...

It's an old steel frame he's chopping not a Bernini sculpture!

You don't need an angle grinder, just a hack saw and file.

Oh! and a first aid kit and Chas Roberts phone number just in case.

Al. am i helping?

I never like the idea of doing this.
People on here have posted up-'got this frame but somebody's ground off the X,Y,Z :evil: :evil: :evil: '

Up to you though

i never liked them things. But if you may use the bike for that purpose then keep. Other wise remove

Well the drop out lugs have gone! looks bad at the mo but a bit of smoothing about and I am sure it will be fine :?
The braze ons will have to wait til tomorrow when a mate is bringing in a blow torch.
Thanks for opinions

They do look bad at first but followed by file, then needle file and then emory things start looking up

I didnt apply heat to remove the brazed items - mine fell off with a bit of help from the dremel and then the above procedure

More pics on my thread.
