Custom Ti Gravel (Waltly) with Z-Couplers

[Beancouter]

Just started the journey on designing and building a Ti travel gravel bike with Z couplings (as they look great!).

I will share pictures / experiences as I go, but had one initial question for the community.

I am going for external hose routing (SRAM AXS for rear shifting) and trying to find good examples where the rear hydraulic hose enters the frame through the upper part of the headtube - the Gen I/II Cannondale CAAD and SSE had a really neat entry point for the rear brake caliper but most brands have subsequently dropped them for something on the down tube, which i dont think looks great.

Thanks

This sounds very cool. Am thinking of getting something similar down the line. What quotes are you getting? And full z couplers or ritchey style seatube? And what bb? Thinking for mine internal downtube cable port on underside like an 8bar kronprinz, with a t47 bb to allow for internal routing. Have some klampers lying around so was thinking of keeping it mechanical braking.
