I thought Carbon fibre was very bad at dealing with point loads, that's why I've avoided the pin/bolt method so far. But the outer shim idea is a good one, need to measure my tubes. One of my colleagues, a techie guys, suggested super glue on the inside and wrapping strip soaked in epoxy on the outside. Could end up looking like I'm ridding Frankenstein's Monster's bicycle, but then again, I often look like Frankeinstein's Monster anyway.
Metriod - nice bike. How can you retire such a beaut? Or have you acquired a much fancier steed?

Thanks Citygent, as I said any help appreciated.
Carbon fiber fine after araldite. My research led be to beleive thos frames were bonded with epoxy originaly.
Will try those. Any experience with carbonrepair.com? -
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.

Is it this frame? It has the same right hand fork rust thing. If so, does it have a ding in the tubes?

That's useless without the proprietary quill type seatpost (rare as rocking horse shit). You would have to cut the frame and add a collar...
