While cleaning my bike I noticed this (1st image). Has anyone had an experiences with a cracked head tube with their checkpoint? I don’t do anything crazy with the bike, some light gravel but mostly commuting around the city. It appears this “mark”goes further down into the head tube (second image). When I run my finger nail over the mark it appears to be completely flush, I’m hoping it is just the paint.

I forgot to mention that this is a SL5.
Looks like a paint defect or scratch, but in doubt show it to your local trek dealer.
Ps: Emonda SL5?
This should not happen in the first place so bring it back to your dealer. Life time warranty is great on these frames.
From the pic it looks like a paint defect.
