So i bought a used Allez today for $350, its in really great shape with only 500 miles on it (hardly any wear and tear at all so i believed him). But i got it home and was peeling off some stickers when i found a crack in the headtube! Its small, right at the bottom on the right hand side. My LBS reckons i should just watch it and maybe it wont get any bigger. But i wanted some opinions. I scraped off some paint to make sure it wasnt just the paint/clearcoat that cracked.




I talked to the old owner and he's agreed to take it up to the shop he bought it from and try and warranty it...but if that falls through im pretty much stuck with this. How long do you think it'll last? Is there anything i can do to slow down the crack from widening?
