I was browsing through some pics on cyclingnews.com of the new Specialized S-Works Roubaix bike and was once again struck by something that occasionally hits me when I look at pictures of really nice, expensive bikes.

Ziptied computer sensors.

I've always kinda wondered why bike/ fork/ computer manufacturers don't come up with a more elegent way of mounting or integrating the sensor for a computer in the fork. If you think about it, the whole bike is often designed to be smooth and flowing from wheel to wheel. Some manufacturers even to to lenghts to route cables in an asthetically pleasing fashion, and yet there it sits, zip tied to the front fort. The ugly blob of a computer sensor. I wonder if fork manufacturers could agree on an ISO type of sensor mount that they could put on the fork, perhaps a small threaded boss similar to a canti brake mount that you could then attach the sensor to.

I dunno, it's mostly just rambling, but something that always kind of caught my eye, especially on expensive high end bikes.
