Ouch.
I was testing out the chainset and front derailleur compatibility and one thing led to another. Firstly, and quite oddly, the derailleur doesn't clear a 53t chainring at the highest position on the hanger, and secondly when removing the chainset it popped out of the BB and damaged the new paint (and my foot!)
I was actually debating on removing the braze-on before painting because I usually run Q-rings which were totally out of the question on this frame. But since regular rings don't fit either, and I'll need to repaint that area now, I thought I'd throw caution into the wind and get rid of it.
Hacksaw, file, sandpaper. Here it is almost ready to start sanding...
