For the crack, would prefer it happened where it did, rather than at the headtube.
Lifetime? On a $ 4-700 steel frame? Who else does this? Brands and makes please. I own 4 Surlys, used abused and ridden hard. No issues. Cross check on single track. Karate Monkey and Krampus on over loaded bikepacking trips, and more.
