This is what I’m dealing with on my 1947 Ciclo Piave. Someone added cable guides and bottle cage bosses sometime in its past. The cable guides can be easily removed, but my framebuilder friend says I’d need to replace the downtube to remove the bosses. Of course, then I’d need to rechrome the head lugs. These mods definitely created a lot of work for me.
