 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

 Yes, it actually makes sense. Tubes are thin at this place yet it is the first place where they meet. Interesting!
