I just discovered a crack in the chainstay bridge that seems to go from the middle of the bridge,
across the weld, and into the left chainstay. This is a (very) high end titanium frame,
approximately 8 years old, and has never been crashed. I did do the hardest climb I've ever done
(23%) the day before this discovery, but I doubt that caused it. The frame has been sent back to the
builder, most likely under their lifetime warranty.

How might this have happened, how long could it have been there, and what might have happened if I
continued to ride it? Thanks for any and all opinions.
