While trolling on Ebay, I noticed this frame with the mentioned difference.  Anyone know why this frame has it?  Was it only for a specific sizes or ?

Ive never seen this before. I think the welds look a little prouder than the rest on the frame so recon its been added. Maybe the seat post cracked and was repared like this?

Your link sends me to a listing of Pro Flex stuff, it doesn't send me to a single item. Are you talking about the dark grey bike? I can't see anything unusual about the way it's built.

They are calling it a medium frame, but I think it is a way big, it has the longer head tube.
