Is my frame cracked?

If you are the first owner and it's still covered by Giants Lifetime Warranty make it Giants problem to decide if it's structural or just a paint crack. If not take it to someone who can do an ultrasonic test on it for you and then you'll know for sure.

Hi Lerouc

My Anthem also started creaking. I even started a topic to see if someone could give me any advice on the sounds. Washed my bike and saw the same kind of crack. Took it to Giant and they said it was just the paint, no worries. 1 ride later it cracked right through and it was gasping for air. Sorry for the loss.

I am getting the feeling that this exact scenario is in my very near future....

You can pm me with cellphone number or email if you want some pics. I am not sure how to post a pic here from phone. When i pressed down on the back of my seat it literally opened up a gap.

Looks like the cracks ive had on an Anthem and 2 Trances. Take that pic and the frame to your LBS and get them to send to Dragons, they are very good in covering warranty claims like this. Unfortunately the frame will have to go to them for confirmation probably.

 

I had the mystery creaks and then found those "crack". But after the 3rd break had to move on from Giant
