Ay yi yi, I don't know if it's a crack in the paint or frame, but I wouldn't ride that without knowing. Normally you can't feel the lip in a pint crack....unless it's the edge of the impact crater.

Sand it and find out, you can either save a crash, or get an opportunity to buy a new frame, Cervelo might help you out

I looked at this again and played with the image in Aperture and....I think it's a crack in the carbon. It's deep and has some shadow to it, so that says to me it hit something.

theres a couple of companies like calfee and kirklee that could easily repair that if it is a crack.

Thanks for the concern and feedback from all. I was able to get a good look at it with a gem 10x lens and found it to actually be a scratch down to the carbon. So thankfully, no crack.

I would definitely recommend one of those little magnifying glasses for carbon examination. Quite helpful!

did you tap across it with a screwdriver or some other tool? When I did that on my P2 when I crashed I could hear a distinct difference where the carbon had delaminated.
