It takes a lot of practice to make beautiful welds, and even the best will still need to be ground and polished if they're visible in the first place.
Something to consider are some of the modern industrial adhesives which
can glue almost anything to anything, and the joint ends up being stronger than the material glued. Some of these products are good for 1000's of lbs
of torsional strength.
Otherwise I might encourage the chassis maestro to get the oxy/acetyline rig out again, use steel plates and join with brass rod. In the spirit of a a fancy bicycle frame, you could file up decorative "joining borders" flow brass between them, clean it up, plate part of it and paint the rest.
