Specialized fix

Since I forgot to take repair pictures of the Teschner once finished, I'm doing the same with this orange and blue Specialized Tarmac repair.  I can't match the paint exactly, but I'll give it the ol' college try.

The crack: nasty ding in chainstay

Remove all the shredded carbon fiber bits down to the base layer

Add back first set of plys

Disc brakes

In an effort to stay ahead of the curve of technology, I added disc brakes to my cyclocross bike.  A lot of work, but seems a lot nicer than rim brakes.  Also, they tend to work in the rain which is a big plus!  I'll post pics shortly.
