You clearly angered the cycling gods with your attempted violation of rule #30.

Since a roadracer is a CF frame, as I recall, it probably isn't welded in since you can't weld to CF. A rivet nut is more likely. I doubt it's bonded with epoxy or anything to the frame from the inside. But if it were my frame, I would take it to the dealer.
