That does seem to be a common site of failure that’s been reported, both in the most recent frames and also the Palace R.
I’m not really too sure what to make of it. Undoubtedly the manufacturing is poor, but has someone also cut up something like a CAAD13 for comparison? Also there presumably is a significant amount of selection and reporting bias with regards to these cracked frames.
In any case, I’ll be keeping a close eye on my Weald, and if it cracks I’ll be getting on the waiting list for a Strael or Mason Definition.
