So I'm refinishing the Continental today and I have a question about the welded seam on the bottom bracket. It would be a shame to go through all this work to make the frame look better but have this horrible thing down there. Maybe it won't be visible very often but I'll know it's there. Would there be any problem with grinding or filing this off?



I can't imagine that it would be there for much structure, but I'm not a welder.
