Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Looks good, but I would have loved to see a photo of the etched groove before you fixed it.

BTW-take a moment and use an Exacto knife to cut about 1/2" from the outside (bottom) of your plastic noodle. The ear wheel throws water, mud and silt at the open end behind the seat tube and it'll rapidly fill and bind your cable if you don't provide an easy exit. This is one reason the original design was made open at the bottom.
