I looked at that before deciding on mounting the brake where it is now but decided against it. I would have to deal with passing through the BB for one thing and mainly I like it in the space between the seat stays and the rack. I think when it's done the cables will be pretty unnoticeable.

Today was a good day for the CCC! I didn't get to do very much work but I did find a couple of things at a flea market that I have been scouting out from the beginning. I'm not ready to reveal what they are just yet, but it's a cool piece of the puzzle that I had pretty much given up on finding.

Also, I have decided how I'm going to route the cables into the tank at the front. I had tried one way yesterday that I wasn't happy with but this evening I spent some time playing with it and came up with a cool looking solution! Because of the tank, I'm going to do something that I've never seen done before.

I googled some images of bikes to see how the pros route their cables and realized that even the expensive newest bikes have some messy looking cables.

Here's a couple of examples:

Hopefully I'll get to work on it tomorrow and get some pix.
