Hi
I fell in love with this NOS Specialized Allez Carbon frame a while ago and decided to build it up with new components. After a fantastic few months riding (lovely ride) i went over a ledge on it (don't ask) and the carbon downtube came apart from the alloy lug.
The carbon is fine (no cracks), it's just the bonding that gave up. Does anyone have any idea if or how i can fix this? I love the ride too much to give it up.
I've tried (rather optimistically perhaps) to glue it with Araldite (epoxy resin) but didn't have enough surface available to make it effective without pulling out the tube too much.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
