Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I just put in an order for a Jagwire cable set in red. I will post a couple of pics when it comes in so you can see the color. I am hoping that it comes close to the red on my BMC.

Most used cables won't stay woven if you try to reinsert them into a new housing. Also, they can be deformed enough where they were clamped to the brake or derailleur that they either won't fit in a housing or they will damage the interior lining. In the end, it's a lot easier and probably cheaper to just replace both.

I got Jagwire with red housing for my new bike. And the housing color is actually pretty darn close to the red lettering and trim on the frame.

Your wheels came with too many spokes. And your stem is upside-down.

It does look like there's way more of 'em in the photo than there actually is - 32 per wheel.
