What is that? The split ST looks horrible and oddly telescopic from the side. Is the random extra piece welded under the DT necessary because they're using low grade steel? And that bridge...

Pretty normal looking gusset, as seen on some pretty high end steel MTB frames (and on some pretty horrible ones too)

I don't remember seeing one on any road or track frames (no expert here mind) for sure on MTBs, usually at a more obtuse angle. But it is for extra strength right?
