All sold thanks

sunny day bump!

Thanks, that's very reassuring to hear that you generally use a torch to remove them!

Yeah I definitely would be concerned about nicking the tube with a hacksaw. Was thinking if I removed the braze-ons without a torch then I'd cover the tube with multiple layers of masking tape as a safety net incase of an unlucky hacksaw or file stroke gone off-course.

Main concern with using a torch is I'd rather avoid a situation where the frame gets distorted and it needs re-aligning/re-straightening. If doing it this way I'd definitely want to do it under the guidance of an experienced framebuilder.

I wouldn't mind leaving the melted silver leftovers on the tube so long as the silver is relatively flat and no sharp edges anywhere. Gives the tube a bit of character and an excuse to not have to use any files or sandpaper haha

Cheers for the heads up dude!

Ahh I hadn't considered that filing & sanding would be necessary after de-brazing. Thought I could just get away with melting the silver 'til the braze-ons fall off and the silver melts flat against the tubing profile.

So since filing & sanding is gonna be an inevitable part of the process whether I use a brazing torch or not, I'm thinking it might just be better to take off the braze-ons purely via filing & sanding.

Suppose one advantage of not using the brazing torch is that I wouldn't be risking warping or deforming the tubes from the heat.

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

.243 Racing Hardcore Hardtail Freeride MTB 4130 Chromoly Steel Frame

This is a very rare and desirable steel hardtail frame, for DH, street, dirt jumping or aggressive trail riding. .243 were handmade in small quantities in Vancouver BC by Eric Fox. The .243 Racing Frame is built from oversized straight-guage 4130 cromo tubing which means there is no internal butting of the tubes like there is on some high-end steel and aluminium frames. This makes for a stronger, but heavier frame than average.

This is the Medium size, with a 330mm / 13" Seattube length and a Toptube length of 560mm / 22".

The bottom bracket is British Threaded BSA MTB type.

Can be used with 24" or 26" wheels.

The rear dropouts are horizontal type with an integrated gear hanger, and include chain tensioners which allow the rear axle to be locked in one of several positions to vary the chainstay length, alternatively they can be used for running single speed.

The dropouts allow you to run chainstay lengths anywhere from a super-short 399mm / 15.7" to a more sedate 420mm / 16.5".

This is one of the few hardtail frames durable enough to run a Dual Crown/DH fork.

The frame is in good used condition with no dents and no cracks.

The frame, seatclamp, and chain tugs will all be packed individually. The frame & parts will be packaged generously with thick padding & thick cardboard to ensure its protection.
