After two rides I noticed a crack in the frame where the seat post goes into the seat tube.

I have returned bike to the store to send back to Fuji, but was wondering if anyone else encountered this issue.

Someone mentioned that tightening the seat clamp too tight, could have caused this, but I wonder if this is possible or not.

Here are the pictures I took with my phone as I did not have another camera handy.

It is a bummer as I will now incur some cost for shipment and rebuild.
