Ok, frame is finally stripped of all its old paint. Before I paint it, how do I go about removing the top tube braze ons? I'm also thinking of cutting off the derailleur hanger or converting it into a beer bottle opener. I don't have a Dremel tool so my dad lent me a grinder he has but it seems like overkill. He also said I could just work it off with a set of pliers or something. Plus, I'm scared I'm gonna do something stupid like accidently cutting into my top tube. I could always leave the braze-ons there but I really like the clean, simple look of true "track" frames. Thanks.
