Whoever did them was sacked from a Siberian tractor factory for failing to reach quality standards.

You one of those weirdos who think aluminum welds are shit if they're not ground smooth, or...?

Nope, I am one of those weirdos who thinks aluminium welds should be done neatly and accurately in the first place, others manage it.

Thanks for clarifying - got an example? I'm really not seeing the issue with the Rock Lobster welds, and I'm curious.

Were they (Cannondale and Klein) doing welds accurately and neatly in the first place or do they just file/grind them down? GT's high end alloy bikes in the 90s had rough looking welds, but I recall reading that this was done purposefully.
