bit drastic grinding the frame! i had the same trouble when i put mine together.you just need to file the brass insert on the caliper as the lugs on the frame are low profile.

The white of the caliper around the brass was rubbing the frame if I filed the brass it would have sat lower and made it worse

Weird, what brake are You running? Both of My frames & lugs have been fine, I've tried Odyssey Evo 2, Dia Compe AD 999, Primo E Brake & Revenge Industries & had no problems with any of them.

The 999 is a great brake, solid & easy to dial in  :daumenhoch:
