maybe you should get a frame that actually fits you

Submitted by Legislator on 11/27/2008.

Hacking up a sweet old 531 road frame is not a great idea, and I guarantee there is a collector in spokane (yes even there) that would be willing to trade you frames for one that fits (judging by your setup I'd guess you should ride a 51-54cm, not a 59-61cm). I left a pretty choice 53cm chrome lugged bottechia at a friends house last time I was there as wall art, so I know there is choice stuff there.

Save your future children and do the right thing!

Chop em off

Submitted by djchase7 on 09/18/2008.

I removed mine with a hack saw. Just be sure to not eat the frame. Once removed, sand with 220 on a block to get it nice and smooth. Then time for finish.

I used a 4 1/4" cutoff saw

Submitted by Cheshire Jack on 09/18/2008.

I used a 4 1/4" cutoff saw on my last frame with little success. Did you use a specific blade for cutting metal?
