Wiping down the frame and noticed this nice big crack on my 24 revolt advanced 2. Only ever been ridden on nice gravel trails.
I was really stressed buying a carbon bike because of the seat post crack issue that seemed to plaque revolts, and the internet implying they’ll fall apart. I decided to buy one brand new since it has a lifetime warranty. Yet here I am 1 month and 600kms later with a huge crack. I clean the bike down after every ride, and this ride was a tame one of smooth gravel.
Thinking of just getting a refund and getting a non carbon bike. Or is this just extremely bad luck.

get a steel gravel frame
Ives ridden carbon frames for 25 years. No issues. I think you got unlucky. I’d warranty it, there is no apparent damage. Good luck!
I had a tiny crack in my seat post on my revolt, giant replaced frame very quickly no issues.
I would imagine it will be the same for you
The Revolt is rad, you just got unlucky. I’ve never seen a crack there on the Revolt, Giant will fix this. If your LBS is a small Giant reseller take it to a Giant store, you’ll get a new bike or frame and if you’re upset enough you’ll probably walk out the store with some new kit.
