Why install the cable stops? I've seen many people ziptie the cable housing down the top tube. Is there a certain benefit to the cable stops?

Benefit? Yeah, no janky zip ties! This bike is still in the process of a transformation after which it will get at least a partial repaint.

I meant more in terms of cable stops vs. cable guides. Also, what's that head tube length? 210mm?

Its actually in the shop getting painted now, I'll have to measure it when I get it back. Head tube is big though. Bike is pictured with a 300mm steerer tube fork.

I think I saw this going across the U-District bridge a week ago or so.

did you braze on the cable guides yourself? if so, why? that is a sweet paint job to mess up...
Posted over 12 years ago
Work done by a friend who does frame repairs. Black part of the paint is just rattle-canned anyways.
Going to braze on waterbottle cage mounts next. Full transformation into track bike roadie machine.

I haven't had any problems with them. The rear bearings are starting to get a little rough, but they have a lot of miles. Axle bolts are 1/4" allen, which is annoying...
