Juls, I think you're right about that brake cable routing.
Ft, I did think about white cable housing to match the piping, but I had my heart set on brown leather and I didn't see them working together. So I settled on the red to pick up the red in the JRJ crest and in the olympic colors. I am happy with it, but I do agree that white/white would have been nice with the teal color of the bike as well.
