If you're talking about dropout eyelets for a rack, I'd also be inclined to trust them. I've seen framebuilders add them, and I think for a while Framebuilder Supply was even selling some dropouts that had an extra eyelet brazed on. Bronze brazing is quite strong. Normally if I'm trying to remove a bronze brazed thing, it will break the braze-on bit before the bronze is broken.

Ok, I give up. How do you remove the threaded rod once they are brazed on?
