Subject: [CR] cracked steerer: safe to ignore?


Part of the threaded section of the steerer tube of my early '60's Pogliaghi is cracked. The crack is vertical. It is in the slot that is machined into the steerer tube to accommodate the keyed washer in a headset. What should I do? I would like to ignore it, but I would also like to not have it break while I am going down a hill with a turn at the bottom
