I was referring to the fillet at the BB joints. I suppose it could just be a color difference due to lack of corrosion on the filleted area (with brass, not steel underneath), but if so the effect is not evident on any of the frame's other joints.
I still think it looks like material as been added there. I've never
personally seen any brazing material that color, but I'm still a relative
brazing newbie and ain't seen 'em all.
