hi all,

noticed today that a fair amount of paint has chipped off the weld connecting the downtube to the headtube of my GT aggressor. its 4 years old so im used to the odd chip and wear and tear but it has appeared suddenly and with its location i was wondering if its anything to worry about?
I am pretty brutal and aggressive in my riding style, but i have had a look and cant see any cracks in the weld, it just seems a bit odd. the area lacking paint is about 10mm long by 5mm wide.

cheers
