So beautifully crafted these, I came so close to buying one last year but their 'cracking' reputation put me off

Can you put up a picy of the crack please?
Also do nothing with the dent - the tubes are coke can thin and are prone to cracking around dents (thats how you got the spare back end..... I have the BB shell, part of the DT and ST attached!)
I will get a pic of the crack up soon as I can get a decent picture, its hard to capture but its right where it will be under most stress.
I know a bit about these frames so wont be playing with the dent, just going to remove the stickers and have a look, maybe tidy up whatever has been used as filler,then re-cover.
