    take more pics.

    When you tap the area with the crack with a coin does it sound different to tapping the rest of the frame? Can you squeeze it with your thumb?

    There is a sharp noise anywhere else I tap coin, but when I tap this area it sounds dull. It seems solid if I squeeze it.

    yeah, it's the frame alright, not safe for riding anymore.

    How old is it? Might still be in warenty?

    If not, you could get it repaired. Looks like it would be a fairly straight forward repair for a professional.

    if it's still under warenty, then send it back to be fixed.

    The frame has definitely failed.
