I'd like to test your patience yet again, I have an old 1950s frame that I'd like to have re-painted; a previous owner has sawn off the brake 'eyelet' on the chain stay, in fact there aren't any eyelets or cable supports anywhere on the bike. Is it possible to buy these so that I could get a friend to weld them on ? Or are there 'bolt-on' alternatives ?
My friend is an excellent welder, do you think it would be an idea to get him to weld on a rear derailleur mounting point or would a bolt-on one be as good ?
what do you mean by "brake eyelet" on the chainstay. do you mean the gear cable stop?
is this a geared bike?
yes you can get bolt on ones of those: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Unbranded-Gear-Cable-Stop--Chainstay-Fitting--Chrome-18470.htm
but I'm sure it's nicer to have one brazed on. same with other stops/guides.

I want to get all frame alterations done before it is painted.
Thank you
