Other crack spots include: Headtube-downtube weld, and brake mount weld.

I'm also curious about the flex issue with these frames compared to the 2005 frames that people have been talking about. Apparently the rear end feels very flexy even though there is a massive yoke?

Thanks

Wow, something that you smash into concrete and rocks broke. Im sure most frames break. Dont worry about it, buy a new one.

i rode one for about 10 seconds. flexed so much the brake would drag when you pedal kicked, and you'd fall over. probably would have done ok with a massive booster.
