afternoon folks. i was wondering what the crack is with removing braze ons? i have a couple of brake cable guides i want to remove. the frame is chromoly butted and the braze ons have this gold coloured braze material around them? is that bronze or something? can i just fire up a normal blow torch and melt them off and tidy up with a file or does it need something special? frame is stripped of paint ready for respray and thought it'd be nice to take them off. any ideas would be grand. cheers.
