I was performing a very rare bike cleaning and saw a bit of a chip in the 
paint of the headtube on my Sam. It is a 60cm, single top tube orange one 
with side pulls, if you are interested. I am the second ownder and have put 
5000 or so miles on it over the last three years.
Can you all take a look at the two photos posted here 
<https://www.flickr.com/photos/90785999@N06/sets/72157665396088401> and let 
me know what you think?
Is it a crack? Yes, it looks like that. It is right where the point of the 
lug is, which must add some kind of stress? Metallurgists and engineers 
please chime in.
What to do about it? Replace the head tube? What size of a job is that? 
Does every city (even a not very bikey city like Nashville) have someone 
who could do this?
Any other wisdom would be appreciated.

Why does steel have to be THIS real?
