Thinking about buying this Pompino (apologies, I have no idea how to paste a pic from eBay any longer).
Anyway, the current owner sawed the braze-ons off with a hacksaw, and had this to say about the resultant damage to the top tube:
"it's a chip/cut. not a dent. when i cut the braze-on off, the cut went into the tube a bit. as i said, i think it's just cosmetic as i've been riding it for over a year that way, and i weigh 15 stone."
Now this would be for a winter hack, however I'd like it not to fail on me- what do people think?
