Need help with my tarmac
My tarmac is finally here! Everything looks great except this one detail: there is a "gouge" in the carbon frame right under the seat bolt ring. It looks fabricated and is oily if I stick my finger inside. What is it used for?

this seat tube notch just closes up a little as you tighten the seatpost clamp/collar...part of the process of keeping the seatpost in place...

That looks like a defect to me. I have a Tarmac and it doesn't have a jagged hole in the FRONT of the seat tube. The seatpost clamp notch is in the back...do you have the notch in the back as well?
