solder or braze? Not sure how durable solder would be, might be Ok on cable guides. Might be a detail question on the frame builders sub forum.

brazing is how most are done.

solder= lead/tin mix of metal that is used as "glue" between 2 metal parts. Relatively low temps required
Braze= brass mix if metal that is used as "glue" between 2 metal parts. Relatively high tems required (steel will be red hot+)
