started to clean my bike today, and noticed 2 “holes in the frame right next to some welds, actually on them. They are not dirt, I don’t think they go all the way through since a pin didn’t.

Maybe they are chips? Both chips are on the braces for the chainstay and seat stay. Should I be worried or is it just paint chipped off and revealed a imperfection?

It isn’t mud

Sticker.

1st one’s just an imperfect weld where the paint’s sunk. Can’t really see with the second but if the paint isn’t cracked around it I wouldn’t worry.

There appears to be a giant spider attack going on in the second picture. Well done for not mentioning it in your post, very casual.

Looks like a bit of shonky welding to me

They don’t really look like chips, the top one look’s kinda like an imperfection.

These apeared recently though, that’s what’s kinda worrying. Didn’t see them the last time I cleaned my bike (couple weeks ago)

They’re just perfection in the weld, it’s pretty common. I’ll bet they’ve always been there, you just haven’t noticed before.

Yeah looks like shonky welding to me and I doubt they just appeared

Sooooo the obvious question…what frame?
