Just keeping an eye on Sick's Instagram feed as I find some of the stuff they're doing quite interesting.

When brazing does the look of the weld have any bearing on strength?

It just seems, to my completely uneducated eye, that the welding appears to be quite messy compared to other custom framebuilders I follow. I guess if it makes no difference to strength then its irrelevant to a point, but just curious, especially as whoever is making the frames is supposed to be highly experienced etc. Link to one image post below (several images to scroll through) where it looks like the brazing has been cleaned up a bit but still looks untidy. I noticed that one image of a brake mount weld which seemed very 'blobby' and where Portus Cycles highlighted it looked a mess has disappeared.
