This is precisely what happened to my 2007 condor, exactly the same crack.
For the record, I never rode it with a short seat post - there was always a good 8 to 10 inches in the seat tube.
Took it back to Condor and they offered me a like for like replacement. In the end, I took the cash value of the frame and put it in toward a lugged Pista Classico.
Looks like they have some quality control issues with that tubing / frame build. I think they switched to Alu tubing the year after, but I am not sure. edscoble will have info ;-)
