Need help with frame

Hi guys,

I have a Kestrel 4000 Pro SL.

Recently, I noticed some cracks forming at the frame below the bottom bracket.

I need some advice if it is still safe to ride it. Also if it is just cosmetics deep or frame deep.

The bike is crash and drop free.

I already contacted my local LBS, but would like to hear from you guys.

Attached are some pictures.

Thanks in advance!!

Joel
