Rear frame bolt instead of welded?

[nsmith]

For some reason I cannot upload a picture. I am looking at mini and the looks like lower rear frame horizontal and verticals tubes are crimped then drilled and held together by the axle bolt. Does any one know what this is?

Why would the Lil Indian have a bolted two piece rear but welded to the fork tube up front?

The late model ones had a 2 piece fork tube with a sleeve insert
