other than the cracks, what frame is that? as that head tube looks really poorly made. i dont know what to call them but the skirt which covers the head set is not equal all the way round, not sure if that is important though.

This wasn't done today but I couldn't think of where else it deserved to go. I have a Demolition Rouge hub and my hubguard didnt fit with the chain tensioners built into my Fly Tierra. I really like the tensioner so I had a machinist throw it on the drill press and bore out a slot. Result is a perfect flush fit, however it doesnt allow much room for rotation.

The headtube is actually the same height all around, it is just the radius on the outside edge that varies slightly. I just had a look at my bike and it is very hard to see, the shadows and dirt in the picture seem to amplify the effect quite a lot.
It may have been caused by me when I was polishing the frame, but I'm not too sure. It is a Fly Montana 2 from a couple of years ago.
