Closer look and the decal on the headtube (only decal on the bike other than the original lbs sticker) is silver, so I think the braided silver look is going to be the winner. There seem to be a few jagwire titanium OEM sets on eBay right now. I wonder if that's the way to go (though the velo orange looks nice too). I have to say, I really like the looks of this frame and am kind of wishing I'd found it in my size (25") instead of my wife's (23"). Of course that could all change with the first test ride if all that I hear about the bone-jarring nature of aluminum turns out to be true.


Hmmm, goldenboy's issues with the cables are what I don't want to have. I won't be wrapping the cable under the tape (unless I decide to put interrupter levers on the curves of the mustache) and may want a bit longer than most would because of the location/orientation of the levers. Jagwire might not be the way to go, though I've had lots of success with them in the past.
