Doug, I believe what you are seeing as a crack is actually me slipping with my dremmel tool. I was trying different attachments to clean up the lugs before I file them. That scratch was caused by an engraving attachment. It has since been removed with an Emory cloth. That is if we are talking about the same scratch. The one I am referring to is a little more than half way down the gusset, on the DT, to the left of the gusset. Please let me know if you are seeing something else, because if I do have a crack, I will trash the frame.
