Morning, on my 2012 anthem I have noticed a hole in the seat tube right where the the seat tube connects to the top tube, (Did I say that right). Anyways because of the location I think its supposed to be their and also due to the fact that the hole is perfectly rounded. If this makes sense lol, can some one shed some light on this. Thanks

Not that one its like right where the tubing connects under the seat collar . I think its the hole that is between both tubes if that makes sense Its quite hard to notice but i'm not 100% sure if it should be their.

If it's the same hole I'm thinking of it's there to let hot air and gas etc escape during welding of the frame tubes
