I've just discovered the same crack on the replacement frame I received in December 2011. It seems in constant use this design only lasts a little over a year. It took me 4 months to resolve the matter last time through Dirtworks, the distributor in here in Australia. And that was only after some intervention from the parent company in the UK (at no obligation to themselves, I might add).
I'm hoping I don't have to go through the same headache. The bike shop couldn't have been less helpful last time and now they've gone out of business. Dirtworks were hardly any better and I've since heard bad things about them from one of the mechanics who worked for the retailer and is now at my new bike shop.
I've had an original virtue for bloody ages, been using a hope qr clamp since new with a Thomson 410mm layback post. I'm 6,2 and tbh, it's probably too small for me really as i have a country mile of post out and highrise bars to make it fit. Bloody love it though and can't quite bring myself to exchange it for a big wheeled bike that'd fit me better.
