Yeah, I guess so, just thought they might have noticed! Though I didn't notice anything while taking it apart to be repainted, nor when I rebuilt it afterwards.
@Biggles567, sanded it back, it's hard to tell what's going on really, but it's obviously not right as I can't sand that bit with it going in a bit. Think @TM is right & it's probably new chainstay, which isn't ideal straight after painting.
@TM, is Woodrup open at the moment at all? Any idea how feasible it'd be to bring it down for someone to have a proper look?
This is proper crap as I was looking forward to riding this over summer, which has already been curtailed. Possibility of being furloughed on Monday is making for a rubbish weekend.

Do you have anything fine you can get into that paint with? You might as well get a proper look at it, if it's broken it's going to need replaced anyway, and it doesn't sound like you're going to ride it without knowing. The area looks good though?
A rusted chainstay is what brought my time with my 853 donohue to a close, but that was pure negligence

We’re currently open as usual, closing for full bank holiday weekend though. The frame builder will be in mon-thurs if you want to bring it down for us to take a closer look. Try scratching the paint out of the Potential crack, should Reveal more. But yeah looks bad. If you’re thinking you’ll want a repair it will be easier to bring bare frame. Really shitty timing as the bike was looking great with the new paint.

Ah no! Well I don’t think it’s down to them to check the frame for potential issues. It’s gonna need a repair (probably new chainstay) and it’s gonna be messy. Also bob Jackson are closing for the foreseeable.
Happy to let my donohue road frame go for $$$z
