Take a chisel and whack them off
I have an 80's Schwinn steel frame I'm fixing up for a fixie - I simply whacked off the bosses with a hammer and cold chisel, then smoothed out the break with a file. They seemed to be braised on and came off pretty easily. Did the same to all the other hangers and addons which won't be needed, in order to clean up the frame. It will be painted and sold on ebay to the highest lucky bidder...
