They bundled all of the extra wiring and then used electrical tape to tape it to the downtube of the frame. He thought it was fine. It looked like they used wires long enough for a 60 cm frame on a 52 cm frame. They didn't even know how to use the little tabs on the junction box to take up the excess cable.

Also, I was informed that I don't have much saddle to bar drop, by bars and saddle are almost level apparently.
I was thinking about this today. It still blows my mind that someone would spend the money on an Orbea Orca and di2 and be okay with a bunch of wires bundled up and taped on the downtube.
