Can I cut it off or should I wait for another group buy. thanks.
I'd rather get a different frame than mutilate a perfectly good frame that isn't set up how I want and only be semi-satisfied with it. Another group buy will undoubtedly pop up...it may or may not be what you want. There are plenty of frames out there there. If you are willing to wait several months for a group buy, then you have plenty of time to find a different frame that will work for you.
