Luckily the middle of the top tube is probably the easiest place to repair.

I had a crack like that on my Otso Waheela. It was $500 to repair at Rukus composites in Portland OR.

Hard to tell. Do you have any more pics of it in different positions pointing to crack?

Shit, sorry this happened but thanks for posting this. I’ve been clamping my checkpoint by the top tube since I got it because it offers a more balanced hold. Won’t be doing that anymore.

Ruckus in PDX or broken carbon in Boulder which is a lot cheaper. You could also DIY it if your handy for about $60, it’s not terribly difficult, I did a seat stay last winter.

Get it repaired and it will be stronger than it was originally. I’m not sure where you are located, but I highly recommend cyclocarbon in MN. They can even do custom paint to match the original.

Yep. Looks cracked.
Looks like a work-stand related injury.
