Not that I remember. Mines not cracked ( frantically touches wood) and i was not aware that was a common problem. Bought it preowned from a mechanic who worked in a bike store selling Cervelo.
Mind you when I bought any of my previous cannondale everyone said it would "crack and fail"

I think this crack was unique to my particular model year. It’s at the cut out on the seat tube that the seat collar pinches together when tightened.
Apparently the seat posts were prone to slipping and the crack would appear due to folk over tightening the bolt.
Cervelo sent out a brass shim to stop the seat post slipping which apparently solved it.
I don’t have wheels for the bike yet, so I’ve yet to find out if it’s going to slip.
My fault for not doing my homework before a very impulse buy!It’s very small, so I’m hopeful that it won’t get worse.
If it does, I think I’ll look for a newer S1 like yours or maybe an S2

I like that.
I have a Cervelo Solo Team frameset that I think is maybe from the year before yours? Going for a sorta-hhsrb build. I bought the frame real cheap without doing any research.
I've discovered that there is a very small (no more than 2mm) crack at the seat post collar. Google suggests this was pretty common. Mixed reports online on whether it's likely to get worse.
Out of curiosity, does your frame have the brass shim at the top of the seat tube?
