Very nice. Looks like you're using your own headset spacers with their stem, is that what I'm seeing?
• A hi-zoot bike, pretty sweet
• An old bike, more fun than the new one actually
• Unicycle, no brand name visible

Please,

Can I get some FULL FRONTAL shots that show your cable routing?

This is my 3rd bike build.
My first hydro disc w/ cable shift.
Seems I never can get the routing/length on the first try and end up redoing it.

Also, I would appreciate any tips on figuring proper housing/hose length from handlebar to headtube entry point

Thanks

The LS only comes with round spacers. Its a shame because those special spacers are plastic molds and can't cost much. I had to order some from Factor.

Done with the LS build.

Size 54"
Enve finishing kit (with the new AR handlebar)
Enve 3.4 AR's

almost 8 kilo

The only downside was the cable management with no stop like the OPEN. It slides back and forth in and out of the frame. Not the best solution. Otherwise a fantastic bike, gravel yet still a racy feeling.

Quick question for Di2 users... have any of you used the E-Tube unit in the downtube? and if you could post some front-end pictures of cable routing it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Chris

The cable that's sliding back and forth - this is a derailleur cable, or the rear brake cable?

Looks like shrink tubing on hydro hose and Di2 eTube wire.

Oh OK. I'd prefer a rubber grommet or such, but if it's just a hydro hose that's not a big deal for me.

Best to use a dry lube so as not to bind when turning.

Nice, my Factor LS with Force 1x12 is awesome. :D But that saddle angle doesn't look comfortable at all
