Funky continuous shifter housing
Edit: I already went back to the "regular" method, as I was worried it'd fall apart in a race...but you can read anyway:
By current 'cross bike has down tube cable routing, which I really don't like. I decided to try putting one long piece of housing on instead to keep the dirt out. The rear seat stays are carbon with a cool shape that didn't work well with zip ties, so I went another route.
I'll probably change my mind tomorrow but here it is:
What? Hey, it works pretty good.
under the down tube. I should snug that up to the frame.

and all that housing can't shift terribly well...
not to mention i've never had issues with a dirty rear-der cable affecting shifting on a down tube routed bike (the Croll).
I have a top tube routed carbon frame ready for you. You will miss not having your adjusters though ;)
In the future I am thinking about doing a 2 up top, 1 down option. What do you think?
