On the wyndy Milla.. it is in the build que. Currently a THM stem and Enve aero 37/42cm handlebar. This will mean external cables from handlebars to frame although I am running Etap (think TCR or Aethos)
I could go internal cables with Deda alanera or Vision 5D ACR... I would look slick but be heavier and couldn't get as narrow..
As I want to use this bike to travel to Europe would I be mad to change to internal cables?

If I was buying a bike knowing I would be flying with it a lot I'd probably steer towards external rather than internal cables. If it was just a few trips (once or twice a year) then it wouldn't be an issue for me.

Just a couple of times a year... just wondering if the weight and faff are worth it for the look and aero

Go for FSA's SRS headset system so you can keep the THM stem while still maintaining some semblance of cable management. See Titici's implementation to get what I'm talking about.
In my opinion, there's nothing cheaper looking that seeing a mess of cables. Makes the bike look like a homemade bomb!

Is this the best option for this sort of set up? Anything lighter/more Gucci?StiffWeenies wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 6:02 pmGo for FSA's SRS headset system so you can keep the THM stem while still maintaining some semblance of cable management.

To my knowledge only Token's S-Box has similar functionality to FSA's SRS system. I'm not sure about lighter but it is the only way you can have clean cable routing with Gucci cockpit components like your THM stem. Also, does WyndyMilla even have a fork that supports fully integrated cockpits? All the models on their website show bikes with standard internal cable routing setups.CustomMetal wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 7:37 pmIs this the best option for this sort of set up?

Check out their Insta from Bespoke although the bike is branded a spoon so I wonder if they are dropping the Wyndy brand?..
