And the use of heat on metal that has been tempered might be a bit iffy too.

That's how they were applied in the first place, bits of brazed frames can be removed and replaced over and over unless its some kind of ultra-fancy-delicate tubing.

Yeah I guess, but a framebuilder doing some brazing and someone with a new blowtorch having a go are two very different things....

bought it for a tenner from a charity shop but im unsure what make it is the only sticker on it is a reynolds cr-mo sticker. so if anyone know what frame builder it could be please share. gonna hacksaw them off and use a file to give it a nice finish.

I cant believe you are considering a blow torch and angle grinder on a perfectly good frame,leave it as it is ffs.
Blow torches are for plumbing and glazing cakes ,angle grinders are for chopping car roofs off

i was going to suggest a plasma gouger but thats bit ott.

Mapp gas gets hot enough to braze doesnt it? Arthur from Ladypool cycles used it all the time.

so do those things they burn tarmac off roads with

ideally a nice oxy accet set up, proper control over what flame you require. Obviously regarding what process you intend to use, or what you intend to join etc.

still the best portable, flexible set up regarding joining imo, no power needed and does the lot.

I think you should leave it as is chris... These guys will leave you with just a pile of metal fileings and arc eye by the sounds of it! ;-)

cannot get fish eyes off gas =P

or at 6 45 am..wont be in..cunt 'insert name' flashed me...

horrid...

Cryptic.

if you have never experienced arc eye...

do not comment.

horrible.

same as snow blindness.

I hate cocaine too

if you do want them off use a medium cut file and some emery cloth,anything else will leave a horrible mark on the frame
