Cracked Pinarello Dogma F8 Fork

I recently discovered a crack in the steerer tube on my Dogma F8, and was pretty bummed. I wanted to get some PF opinions on what to do next? I realize the bike is four generations old, so sourcing a replacement fork would be challenging I assume? Is carbon repair on a steerer tube worth it, and safe? Is the frameset toast, and should I just go shopping for a 58cm carbon race bike?

Can you post a pic of the crack? Where on the fork is it?

I'm not sure if the length of the steerer tube would be enough for your frame, or if it even matches the color of your frame, but it would be a good shout to check out this one: https://www.cykom.com/products/pinar...ack-white-used

I am close to the Pinarello Concept store people in London and am happy to ask the guys in the shop if you want.

I'll be over there this weekend so it's no problem.

Curious: what led you to find the crack? (AKA how will I know if there might be a crack developing in my steerer?)
