Hi all😊

First time posting here, but love the forum...

Just bought a second hand Colnago Extreme Power, and this evening I noticed these marks on the cross bar. Would I be right in thinking my frame is now broken?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated thanks👍🏼😊

we need a large hi res photo and it would be nice to see exactly where on the bike the problem is. Could be paint cracks. Easy way to test. Take a coin and tap all over the top tube and if the sound goes dead over the crack than the carbon is compromised. If the sound is a nice tight tap like the surrounding area than you are OK.
