Hello,
Just discovered something a little suspect on the top tube, where it meets the head tube on my Spark carbon frame.
It looks like an odd place to get a scratch, but could be flex that's caused the paint to flake off.
Any ideas?
One thing's for certain, I am going to die.
Cheers everyone,
Butty
100% scratch (probably). I'm an engineer. HTH
Scratch for sure, I'd put money on it - I mean bet, not cover it up with a £1 coin.
10/10 for paranoia tho 
Tis but a scratch. When it cracks it will be around the bottom bracket area, not there
Yeah its a scratch honest
Dammit, thought it said crack or snatch, was expecting a different picture.
Wicky wicky wah wah, scratch.
Hit it with a hammer. You'll know then
the fact that it ends at a simlar mark that's at right angles to the large one makes me wonder if it that's where there was a join between two bits of carbon in the mould?
It just looks to straight and regular to be a scratch and it doesn't 'tail' off or get shallower at the end - just stops.
Neither. It's the edge of your heli tape. Numpty.

Bugger, just realised everyone is looking at the copter tape, rather than what I was wondering about - which is above the tape, on the corner.
I'll adjust the photo...
ah, that explains the strait lines then 
I was looking at the death-coming-soon crack above it
It wouldn't crack there shirley. Magnifying glass'll tell you.
For it to crack there it would have to have been impacted rather than a stress crack buttscratcherrr bbbbbuttttscratcherrrrr
Put one of those bullet hole stickers over it and bang it on classifieds 
Scratch........ 
just going to upload one of these myself..... 
No wait... thats the wrong image.
classic
Certain that's a scratch.....
If it was to crack in that area (which is very unlikely), it would snap pretty darn quick so you'd be sure by now!
Sweeeet. Well then, that's decided a new Kashima RP23 shock, a DSP Dropper post and some Fox Kashima 120 FiT RLCs.....
Now, just need to get in touch with Loco Tuning
Cheers fellas.
