Is my frame cracked?
I recently had a fall where my front wheel went into someone's rear wheel.
When i got back home i found a small mark on the top tube of the frame where i think my bars collided with the top tube. There's no visible damage to my aluminum bars or the bar tape.
I'm not sure if the carbon is damaged as I've tapped the mark and it didn't make a different sound to tapping other parts of the top tube. So I'm not sure if i should be concerned.
Here's the photo:

Try squeezing it. If it's softer than normal parts of the frame then there would be something to worry about.
I had a similar crash on a frame and a similar crack to your. I lightly sanded the paint to get down to the bare carbon and I saw straight away that it was just a crack in the paint.More problems but still living....0
