This is a 2007 frame with 1600 miles. It's the second Carolina Custom 300DS I've seen with a cracked downtube. Had this gone unnoticed it would have lead to serious injury or death. Do your homework.

 

Do they make there own frames

 

Chinese steel...?

 

They do make their own frames.

I'm not a welder but I've been told they used too much heat while welding. The heat drew the good properties of the steel toward the weld which caused the pipe to become brittle.

Are there any certified welders here that can verify this theory?

 

Any full size pics of the whole bike?
