i've been monitoring it, and given my not inconsiderable mass, it should have gotten worse with many of the 1.8m huck2flats i've made this frame do. Zero progression. So it's like other guys at the LBS have said: it's a paint crack, nothing more. Another Xtension had the exact same crack at the exact same place. Once they had removed the paint, there was nothing wrong with the weld.

 

So when this bike goes in for a recoat, I will do a proper check with some trick crack detection methods I learnt at work. But I honestly dont believe the weld has a defect.

But if the frame should fracture suddenly while I'm out riding, then i guess we'll all know it was a genuine crack smiley17.gif
