To allow the main break cylinder of the rear brake to use its
place, there is a reduced diameter of the frame at that point

Looks like this from the top:


   |--- ** ---|
...|   ----   |...
   |          |
   |----------|   <- Frame

** = axis of the break cylinder

There is a welding point at this place which seems to be done not very
good. You may look for color falling off.
