[QUOTE=Grasschopper;4992714]Eh...that's a little too BMX (I don't know do BMX bikes still have TT, stem and bar pads?) slash fixie hipster for me....I like a nice clean look...which is what is killing me with the current setup. I got a set of Jagwire housing guides holding the housing but it is sloppy looking...and the housing flexes all over the place which makes the rear brake mushy and lack feel.

I have been looking at getting a custom Bob Jackson that is a mix of their track bike and one of their road bikes...I want to go with the internal cable routing of the rear brake in the TT just like my Merckx....basically I want my Merckx with track drops, no DT shifter bosses or HT cable guides, no FD brazeon tab and no RD housing guide.

I am running these jagwire guides too, the only way to have the housing more stable and improve the brake feel is to use zip ties on the clips instead of their C-Clasps. It does look messy, you are right.
