That bike shop should purchase a strong magnet.

Easiest way I've managed to get the cables where I need them.

My bike shop does have magnets (in fact we have the whole extravagant Park Tools IR1.2 kit). Sometimes it makes it easier and sometimes it's still a huge PITA, depending on the frame. I also still haven't heard a convincing argument for any practical advantages of internal cable routing. Only vague aesthetic references to "cleaner lines".

Haha, I started out with the floss and vacuum technique and failed miserably.

Of course, I've only had to do it on one frame, but the magnet was a lifesaver.

A strong magnet does make things easier, but it's still a PITA.

Internal cables look better, but I'd rather have frame mounted shift cable adjusters. In-line adjusters blow.

Tour Divide? Thats awesome. Good luck. Aero bars are definitely the way to go.

Yes, I'm hoping for 2018. Finances are ok right now, but I don't have enough of a safety net if something goes wrong.

Here is a pic of my new ride. Dogma F8, Titan Orange, Ultegra Di2, Most Aero handlebar & stem, Boyd wheels and Fizik saddle.

No I have not but was just ranting because of the aesthetics of it. I know it's a pain to install/remove cables that are internally routed but for a non-professional/casual rider like me, I'd prefer the looks. And how often do casual riders need to replace their entire shifting/braking cables...? Not very often. Adjustments, sure, but full on replacements of the cables......?

Please upload full size pic and more pics to hosting site like Imgur or Photobucket. Bike is simmering, could be hot, pics too small.

Same crank, however, one is chorus and the one you posted is record. They are pretty much the same though. I have a Super Record crank and I will say it is the most beautiful crank ever made.

+1. But stage it better. Chain on small ring. Saddle slanted. Looks like a zero setback seat post might work better. Stack of spacers. So maybe final fit hasn't been dialed in yet?

Sumgy's Moots is quite hot.

The Moots is hot despite the saddle.

As a Ti bike guy and Campy guy, I really like the Moots. I would say that putting some black rim wheels on, medium depth will make it hotter looking. I am not a big fan of gum wall tires on most bike builds.

New (to me) bike day. Still waiting for my headset bearing cover to chop the steertube. Also, going to clear the seatpost.

^^^Would be so very hot if that top tube was designed to be a bit more horizontal.

Yeah, really tiny frame. Short guy, so traditional tt's leave me with a fist full of seatpost. Fit hasn't been dialed, prob come down ~ half an inch.

Get the stem off of the slammed position and its hot slowjamz. The balance does not look correct now.

Scratch that, leave it slammed and cut the steerer.

Noooo!

a question about that beautiful Moots...I've noticed some modern bikes have laid-back seat-posts...if you want to be a little more stretched out, why not just use a stem with more reach...is being a little more over the back wheel adding stability?

Because the alignment with your knee and pedal is not affected by the length of your stem but the setback on your seat post. It could be forward too. It depends on your femur length. And the setback on the saddle can vary between bikes due to the angle of the seatpost per bike geometry and size.
