Seeing the way the lug and head tube have come apart doesn't fill me with confidence regarding the quality of construction of the frame. If that joint had been properly brazed when the frame was built, it would never have just separated in that manner...

I had the same issue with my 2009 60 cm Sam in 2021. See photos below, where the separation actually led to a crack in the headtube. Rivendell agreed to repair it under warranty and sent it to Steve Rex i Sacramento to replace the headtube with, I believe, one with a slightly thicker wall. They then sent it D&D to match the green paint; but they ended up repainting the entire frame and then Riv agreed to send him the fork as well to match it since the green was not the same, so I now have effectively a brand new bike, the one I just took on our 3.5 week tour of Austria, Slovenia and northern Italy.
