That's a nice big ding in the chainstay isn't it.

Must say something about the strength though. with a ding that size in a carbon frame, id be so worried. but specialized must think its fine.
if i put a ding in that frame id probably cry. But thats just me

Rear chainstays look like aluminum to me.

Yep, only the front triangle is carbon.

I am not really a fan of Gwin or demo's, but I think that bike looks great! And I really like fox on specialized and the mixing and the matching of components. Makes me think it's what the riders want not the big bad bike companies... Just my insignificant opinion.
