Framesaver is defintely task #1, i have to do my lemond soon anyway. No intention of grinding off the braze-ons, might feel like putting a full group on it someday.
A friend of mine mentioned a clear tape that you can put on parts of your frame to keep it from getting too scuffed up... anyone have an opinion on that? Is it hard to remove? Easy to see?
