I use barcons on a 61cm bike and I run the cables under the bar tape. I'd like to try your metallic braid housing but your standard lengths are not long enough. The stem and seatpost are just fine, though, so thanks for the great products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-24235123280549458152010-03-30T09:51:45.571-04:002010-03-30T09:51:45.571-04:00colors, pretty colors. who says you can't be a...colors, pretty colors. who says you can't be a VO fan and a trendoid too ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-24484971843244378222010-03-30T07:32:27.001-04:002010-03-30T07:32:27.001-04:00Oh man...

With my polyvalant shaping up to be such a monochromatic build, it'd be nice to pull a touch more of the color from the logos into the whole thing.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799141206977457210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-15048005992572274662010-03-29T11:17:10.533-04:002010-03-29T11:17:10.533-04:00a quick bit of feedback on the cables.

The kit itself is very nice--includes everything you need to cable a bike, housing lengths are generous, caps and ferules are a nice touch (I love that one side of the housing has caps already crimped-on--nice touch).<br />All in all a very good kit at a good price...<br /><br />Allan PollockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-50603544030415209332010-03-29T10:52:25.038-04:002010-03-29T10:52:25.038-04:00love the colors, now I can complete my new hipster...love the colors, now I can complete my new hipster fixie in style.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
