I've come to rebuild my neglected Allez and I've noticed two hairline cracks on both sides of the fork blades. The fork is alloy, and it has a some tyre rub on one side.
Not sure if it they are just cosmetic or structural, maybe people with a better eye can take a look:

1.
3.

4.

What do you think?

Are you sure they're not ally crown/sterer and carbon blades? That might explain the cracking at the same position on both sides.

Sanding sounds like a good idea. (also, don't spesh do a lifetime guarantee against frame/forks?)

This was the 2013 version that I picked up, I think it was a downgrade on all other versions.

I may take it into the Concept store in Kingston this weekend, see what they say about it. Hopefully me duffing up the existing rub doesn't void it... D'Oh.
