The Strip

As I was using my new frame to create a fixed wheel bike I wanted clean lines on the frame.

The frame was designed to have gears as has lugs for the routing of the rear mech cable and also had a shifter mount on the down tube. I wanted to remove these as I won't need them once the bike is built. These are originally brazed onto the frame using copper so are easy to remove as copper is a soft metal. They just needed breaking off and then filing / sanding down.

Here are some pictures before removing the lugs:



and after:




All the lugs taken off:
