Yuck.
Your brake cable looks a bit long... you could prob trim a bit of it off.
On my Di2 build I used heat-shrink tubing to sheath both the brake cable and the wire together making it tidy before splitting and entering the two different ports in the frame
If you flipped the little junction box around it looks like all the wires would enter at the front, then you could pair the cable entering the downtube with the brake cable and wrap them or something so that instead of two cables/wires flopping around you'd have one...Sky does something like what I'm talking about:

thanks fo rthe reply, i want to do something asap this is driving me nuts, such a nice build with such a crappy wiring job.
I prefer AG2R's method of attatching the juction box to the rear brake cable and then running the gear cables along the brake cables with some heat shrink/spiral wrap.

so clean, I might switch my garmin mount to a barfly, I hate the zip ties around the stem, I will be also replacing the brake cables for Jawire segmented housings

Im going to try and use velcro that way if I ever need to remove i can do it easily

Thanks , yes i did som eof the trimming last night, It was driving me crazy. Im thinking about doing Jawire Road Pro brake kit , does anyone know if that is Campy compatible? or do i just use the existing cable with the new housing ?
Nice. Once you get it all tidy it'll look really tight.
The shrink wrap is also nice as it prevents the possibility of a cable being snagged and coming unplugged or stretched and damaged...
It's too bad some shops do the bare minimum and don't seem to take much pride in the little details...
