Hi Guys - I noticed the below 'line' on my carbon frame. Its centre of both top and bottom decals - is it a crack or the normal carbon join?
It's completely smooth, would love to get some thoughts. Has anyone experienced similar?
Thanks

It's just a joint in the uni-directional wrap/sheet they put around the outside of the structural carbon fibre before they put on the clear coat. Not a structural problem.

As above. There are several hundred individual pieces of carbon mat laid to build the frame. It's just the edge of some of these pieces you can see.
I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.
