52cm, eh? i'd say ride it until it breaks! or until it looks a bit more like it's going to break. if it were about 5 cm bigger, however i'd say the frame is toast and you might as well give it away. ;-)

Paint can flex with the frame but is less mailable...so it cracks and flakes.<br />
<br />
If you're really worried take a small patch of sand paper and sand that white primer off. You'll know if it's cracked.<br />
<br />
I think it looks fine...<br />
<br />
Oh and I have several years on CAAD 9 frames without a hint of a problem by the way! :)<br />
<br />

PS Good job in The Championship of the Universe!

That frame is fine. I don't see anything wrong with it. If you start to see cracks on the welds then you might wanna worry. But what you have there is fine. Unless you're looking at cutting edge AL (say CAAD 9) it's a very durable material.
