When I look at it , it seems to make sense how it's gone there , I see the two welds coming from the head tube , meeting at a sharp angle on the down tube , seems like a high stress concentration point built into the frame to me.
my 2012 scalp cracked in the same place , it's in this album.
The gusset on the top tube you see was added on the 2014 frames , I'm guessing to help relieve some of the stress from the problem area
A very weird place to crack unless... they use non-custom butted tubing and in that place the regular butted tube would be very thin and welding would lower the strength of the wall. Weird anyways
