It would be nothing short of criminal to cut anything off that bike. It has braze on center-pulls a rare french thing and those are almost definitely mafacs and they probably work amazing set up like that. Looks like a simplex SLJ RD as well, it is a high quality and probably rare french machine to be sure.
