It has plenty of paint scratches from wear and tear over the years but I don't think any of them are actually cracks. Nothing long and zigzagging and deep. Not really sure how I would tell the difference between a bad scratch and a life-threatening crack, though...? Judging by what I've seen on the internet even the first sign of a crack is cause for running as fast as I can in the other direction, but I don't know how true that is, or if what I'm looking at are just a bunch of harmless scratches, which they look like... Would a LBS be able to tell?
