Noticed this crack on my frame yesterday after a short ride. 2008 Madone 5.9 SL. I am going to reach out to a few repair shops and a LBS as well just to see my options. Maybe even the purchase of another frame?
I know people who have had carbon fiber frames repaired. It’s cheaper than buying a expensive new frame. But not cheap.
It depends on how much you like your bike.
If you have repair places in your area it’s probably worth looking into.

Trek has a lifetime warranty for the original owner. If that’s you, it’d be worth getting in touch with a dealer to see what they can do.
Your LBS might have a carbon repair shop they recommend or worth with, but otherwise I think it’s unlikely that they’re going to be able to do anything for you (again, unless you’re the original owner and they’re a Trek dealer).
