So had the bike since October. Already had one new bike under warranty.
What do you think about this

It just looks like a crack in the paint. But it's under the invisiframe.

What to do?

Send it back for inspection. Why was there a warranty replacement?

Might as well take the tape off and have a proper look. Does look a bit ****ed though (although could jus be the paint.......again)

Dont remove the invisiframe, just take it back and show them and let them remove and inspect it

Specialized are very good when it comes to warranty (as you prob already know) and i suspect they will just replace the frame again

Obviously I'd love to say "it's a sticker" , but that looks like a crack to me.

Sadly Andy it looks the same as Tim grassam crack and it's the 3rd specialized I've seen this year in the same place .this has been going on for the last couple of years with there carbon frames and your lucky your dealing with a very reputable lbs as leisure lakes have been useless.
Good luck getting it sorted been nothing but trouble that bike .

Looks like a crack in the paint, but it's invisiframed so I'd perhaps expect some protection there.

Better safe than sorry, if you can, I'd send it back!?

I'd send it back. No point in risking it.

No way would I NOT take that back mate.

Would do my head in looking at that every time I rode the bike.
