That's Eather weld under cut or what it more looks like somebody slipped with a grinder, although I'd be surprised if a grinder ever gets used on bike frames. If your ride your bike hard almost certain it will crack there.

Goes without saying for all 2010/11 glories doesn't it?

Have Giant not fixed this for later 2011 models, and the newly painted 2012 models
or any 2nd owners manage to get replacements?

Mine 2011 glory 00 just cracked in the same place. I didn't buy it new, so from what I understand, it won't be covered by warranty?

Depends on wheter or not you tell the dealer you didnt buy it new...

You "lost the receipt when you moved"

I'm surprised it that it cracked, I'm under 70 kg and don't have the luxury of a bike park to trash out 100s of runs.

UK = 5 years for the 1st owner only. Not sure about worldwide.

My 2012 looks slightly different compared to the 2010-2011. The top seems to flare more at the seat tube and the weld is considerably beefier.

It only took them 2 or 3 years to figure this one out! Increased surface area and weld beefyness should hopefully resolve this issue!

Although I have heard that the problem is the 'kink' in the top tube flexing and putting the weld under additional pressure... But one of the key supporters of this theory has no engineering qualifications!

if that was the case then it would probably crack on the top instead of the bottom.
