Here's a copy of an email where Rob explains how he designed the stem: Quote: looked a few different ideas for the cable hanger - I had thought to have a noodle inside the stem so that the cable would enter and exit underneath, but it required too tight a bend to get a clean run. So in the interest of a nice straight cable run to the brake I put the cable guide through the center of the stem. There is a tube brazed in that will accept the end of the housing on top, and the cable will exit underneath. I love working with a one man shop who tries to push each successive build further and further. -USofChay _________________ Custom English Cycles CX Bike BMC SLC01

He will ship tomorrow so I'll put up a ride report and hopefully some action pics soon. -USofChay _________________ Custom English Cycles CX Bike BMC SLC01
