I decided to take the afternoon off boat-building duties to do some work on the bike…
When I bought the frame, it had a small(ish) dent in the downtube, which I didn't know about until I got it home and had a proper look at it. It's not enough to cause any structural concerns, just aesthetically annoying, so I decided to fill and fair it, and re-paint the frame. While I was at it; I thought I might as well remove the unwanted braze-ons, and modify the unnecessarily long, and rather inelegant track ends, so that's what I did.
