A crack in the brazing.
A guy asked me if I could help him fix his frame. It has a crack near the head tube. I haven't seen the frame yet, only this picture. The owner claims that there is no sign of a crack from the inside of the head tube, so it seems to me that the brazing had failed.
Of course, I could "fix" it by heating the lug and melting everything back together, but I have doubts about it. Is there a good way to fix it without rebrazing the head tube lug, given that I don't know how to unbraze the head tube without damaging neither the head tube itself, nor the lugs?
