To tell the truth, I took off only small bits, the dt shift housing stops and the tt brake cable housing stops, and pretty much left it alone otherwise. I may have sawed off the der hangar, too, but didn't do much to cover the damage apart from clear nail polish.
This frame was custom #1, a Waterford built 1995, which was replaced by #2, 1999 and #3, 2003. The 2 last were a so much an improvement over #1 (though that was a good bike) that #1 became disposable and I turned it into a fixed gear commuter using a White Industries ENO hub. I later sold the frame. OTOH, I did rather more surgery to a very nice very early '90s Diamond Back, the top of line Axis Team. I removed bosses and hangar, as well as rear canti bosses, and ran it variously as a fixed off road bike and a ss freewheel all rounder -- very nice. That frame had a '90s white-grey-black fade job, mostly white with mottle, and I did touch this one up with white Rustoleum enamel. It looks quite good and I've been tempted to resurrect it with Rat Trap Passes, though ownership went back to my brother whence it originally came. The most fun project was putting a 1 cm deep X 3 cm long dent in the chainstay of a Workman tricycle so that I could install a Stronglight 99 crankset with bb shell adaptor. I also did the dent thing with a Monocog 29er (to run a road crank, for some odd reason) and a nice Nishiki mixte (forget why) -- no problems! I sold all 3 and, the the buyers expressed no concerns.
