If only those welds had been smoothly ground out like a fillet brazed frame. Not sure why manufacturers don't provide a more finished look on these bikes for the prices that they fetch. I can understand the "wallyworld" bikes, but I think that this is a bit above that level when it was sold. is it because these are done by welding robots on an assembly line?
