If you define "weld quality" as integrity of the joint, then yeah, I agree, there's no info on weld quality in that pic. However, if you determine "weld quality" from an aesthetic perspective as I do, it's plain to see it's a low grade, inexpensive, cheaply mass produced frame, or in other words, a POS.

Your probably not a bicycle engineer, huh? You can only tell it's lug-less? I mean, you can't tell it's not brazed, either?
