"Head tube failure is just about unknown" being some key info here. In contrast to the hundreds of other posters who say a crack in the head tube means catastrophic failure. If the actual chances of it failing are low then I am willing to risk cycling it but of course I will do more research and keep an eye out for a new frame.
