I cracked my p3 today for the second time in the same spot. I was wondering is it was a design problem when you look at the 2010 frame here. http://www.bikerumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/2010-specialized-p3.jpg
See how the top tube joins to the rear top tube around the seat post and on the 2011 one here http://s7d5.scene7.com/is/image/Specialized/6271?$Display$
it looks like they have fixed the problem what do you think. here is a photo off my crack. has any one had the same problem thanks.

More like a welding problem than a design problem. The tube right next to the weld gets weakened by the heat from the weld if it's not done right. I had a couple of cracks just like that on my SX Trail in different locations. If you are the first owner, you should be able to get it on warranty, otherwise get Grip to fix it.

Keep riding, snap it completely into 2 pieces, take it into Navajo and see how they react haha
