Picture 10 with the webbing looks to me like it is some type of body work filler like you would use on a car.
I would be very cautious.
SideshowBob-
True, initially I was suspicious, too. But given the fact that the bb shell and the tt look like max, I don't think it is a cheapo diy job. If it had normal tubes, it could have been a re-welded diy gas pipe beater. If the price stays low, it might be worth to take a punt.
@mcamb no idea tbh but I guess there's ways to blast it without taking off too much material: low pressure, plastic- or dry ice blasting etc
p.s. I'd be more worried about the rust on the top tube, thin tubing doesn't take kindly to rust.

I saw this, what do you think the gusset / webbing bits are made of?
Do you reckon they'd take kindly to being shot blast or chemically stripped?
