you have too much cable housing on that thing...
you could clean the front end up a lot by routing the left shifter housing to the right cable stop and the right housing to the left stop. then, cross the bare cable under the down tube and to their respective places on the bb shell. it would eliminate a ton of cable and look way cleaner.
edit: the brake cable is long too.

I feel a little inadequate putting pics of my new ride on here with all these other amazing bikes.
I just recently quit smoking, after 2 packs a day for over 20 years, and took up cycling as my new serious hobby… Got my first 100+ mile ride coming up this May (on my 38th b-day.
For my budget and experience level I am really happy with my new bike and the few upgrades I have done to it.

You might want to get fit on that, Biff.
Just looking at the position of the shifters makes my wrists hurt.

In the process of the fitting, next week to be exact. I live in a very very small community, the closest bike shop that does fittings is about two hours away.

New tires! Only thing I've changed since I bought it is the saddle [Selle Italia SLR Gel Flow], chainrings [Stronglight CT2], bars [Pro Vibe], and stem [3t 110mm].

I crossed mine when building up the XRL with 105 5600 - it definitely looks a lot cleaner that way.
