That has to be the best-looking "backwards cabled" setup I've yet seen, as good as it gets.
Pretty new-looking bike as well.

Now I'm wondering how much frame size affects this. Is it the front brake cable that you have routed in front(?) of the rear brake's cable?

I also am suddenly wondering if some of the 600 Arabesque brake's squishy feel can perhaps be attributed to the tighter bend in the cable, something that always bugged me about that seemingly very lightweight gruppo.
