Hey guys, i need help.

I do not know how it happened, but the frame of my new BMC TM02 cracked.
There is a crack around 1cm on the bottom of the top tube, near the seat tube.Just below the screw which adjust the seat.
I am in doubt what to do. Is it necessary to fix? Is dangerous ride the bike with this?
Thank you.


After reading time posts, so check out my TM01 and found out what the problem was / is.

The bolt that spans saddle pin solid is 2-3mm too long.

I have taken a picture into the saddle tube and you can see that the bolt just created a brand. And it's not too tight, I use the torque wrench and it is tight 7.5Nm

So I would suggest everyone who has a TM 01/02 to check it, so do not get ruined your frame.
