SC are IS mount so I'm guessing Ibis? Might just be the paint that's cracked though...that happens a lot on carbon frames?

not Santa Cruz either...cannot say "which brand" but its one of the bigger brands (not Specialized, Trek or Giant though...)
unfortunately its not the paint that cracked, we have used T-Cut and Iso alcohol to inspect this area and it seems to be a structural failure rather than a cosmetic crack in the paint layer, and when you look closely at the aluminium brake insert there is a suspicious sharp edge which the crack seems to have started from?
no problems with the manufacturer though...another frame on the way
