Aren't you the same person who wrote this?

Im just trying to shave it for a nice clean look. Fixed gear conversion is all about minimalism and functionality.
Sure sounds like fashion to me, especially when it comes at the expense of frame integrity.

I asked how to best remove braze-ons and fill this tiny hole.
And you got answers about why it is a bad idea. If a fad came up to make your car's look "cleaner" and "minimal" that involves removing the lug nuts from your wheels, do you suppose you'd get encouragement from professionals when you asked about the best way to go about this?

And yes, I *DO* ride fixed gear, and have for many years.
