Got a custom 4130 steel frame here that is still raw & unpainted.
Looking to remove the brazed-on hose guides/cable guides under the toptube and seatstays.
2 methods are available to me:
a brazing torch vs files, needle files, masking tape, wet&dry sandpaper.
Wondering what are your thoughts about using a brazing torch at a low temperature to melt the silver braze away to release the braze-ons from the seatstays and toptube? (see attached example)
Are there any reasons not to remove braze-ons using a torch?
Any help or advice is appreciated!
Thanks
