The frame has a hairline crack on the front of the bottom pivot facing the bb on the drive side, i have done my best to show this in the last pic. i dont think this affects the frame much and is still ridable

Quite the reverse, they were very flexy, magnesium with excellent "memory" qualities, a bit too flexy in fact. Road salt however would kill them and they would then indeed break.
