A braze-on is the name for any number of parts of a bicycle that have been permanently attached to the frame.[1] The term "braze-on" comes from when these parts would have been brazed on to steel frame bicycles. Braze-ons continue to be so-called even though they may be welded, glued, riveted, or moulded into the frame material, depending on the material itself and the connection method used elsewhere on the frame.

Braze-on cable stop on bottom of top tube that happens to be welded on.
