Come on.

Personally, I dislike the look of thick welds. It is a visual preference only though, because I recognize that the style of weld is not indicative of manufacturing quality or end product quality.

You responding by saying the very thing that I said you ignorantly say was hilarious.
In the Shedon Brown fatigie test done decades ago , a CAAD3 followed by a Principia were the most resistant frames. Pretty sure that the modern Chinese made one wouldn't have passed the test. A Chinese welder doesn't have the same experience and quality of work that an American welder who had welded aluminium for two decades, that is not possible and not even conceivable.
