I've been riding my Pomp fixed recently and would like to clean up the back end but still retain the ability to go back to freewheel and 2 brakes if I want.
I've already removed the toptube cable guides as with no cable in them, they were catching and tearing my shorts. I plan to braze on a couple guides for full length outer at some point.
Full length outer = (mini) V brake so I can pretty safely lose the cable stop on the wishbone, I've never used the rack eyes so will fill them in either with weld or braze.
That leaves the brake posts. I'm thinking I could cut the post part off, leaving the base of the mount and tap these to accept threaded posts.
I know some of you will say what's the point, just leave it all on there, but I like things clean and simple and the clutter around that area is annoying me.
