Maybe I'm being daft.. but...
These are holes in the frame, right?

Taken from this FB marketplace ad...

I mean...
"This bike has a few wear and tear marks round the bike but honestly doesn’t make any difference to it the bike works perfectly with lock out forks and a nice rocks box rear suspension."

words fail me..

I think it is some rather large paint chips but not actual holes. Surprised at how thick the paint coats look in that though!

Space for storing tools. It's all the rage.

Boardman bikes are pretty much filler & paint in an effort to look 'cool'

Not sure if they still do but they used to advertise the 'smooth welds'. I ground one back to weld up a crack and found a not-so-smooth weld covered in filler...
