Huh, interesting! I haven’t seen that before, but it certainly looks clean to cross the cables.

Yes between the internal cable tubes and the cross the cable routing on this frame is very nice. Although I wouldn’t have complained if the rear derailleur guide had continued inside the frame for longer.

[hozn]

Agreed — very nice! Yeah, that looked really odd that they expect you to run open cable under that ds chainstay for rd. (Obviously you are OK, running sealed housing.)

This one fits! (With very non cross tires)

With or without the big hammer?

Rule 49 violation.

Wow, that is whole lot of red accenting going on there! — but I guess the saddle will be blue? It’s great to see it coming together! I still suggest your front brake hose run is wrong, but as long as you can turn the handlebars all the way in both directions it probably will function adequately. Shorter run is probably preferable though for the hydro fluid (and minimizing affects of temps on fluid?).

Oh, don’t forget to put inline barrel adjust in for your FD. You might want one for your RD, though most road RDs have barrel adjusters on them, so it’s probably unnecessary to put one inline. When I switched to 1×10 with X9 RD, I discovered that the newer SRAM MTB derailleurs do not have one (so I had to cut my housing and add an inline adjuster).

I’m with hozn on this one. I’ve never seen a cable routed through the triangle like that. Whatever works, though.

This one not so much…maybe I need a smaller rotor?

Or that hammer from the last pic…either way.

[ShawnoftheDread]

Or an adapter for the caliper to fit the 160 mm rotor.

Yes, these are the 50 shades I was referring to earlier.

The jagwire came with in-line adjusters so they are installed. (Partly used to transition from 4mm housing at the brifters to Jags standard 5mm housing.)

Yes, I’ve got full rotation on the handle bars (see earlier comment about lines being too long). I haven’t filled the brake lines yet so there’s still time for me to route this more traditionally. As for the length of the housing, it is still way shorter than the rear brake housing, so I’m not worried about from that perspective.

The saddle is both blue and free. I’m just bidding my time until Dread realizes he doesn’t like his new (black and red) saddle and wants it gone fast.

I knew the forum wouldn’t let me down.

The hammer was used in the assembly of this bicycle. The carbon is strong with this one.

This is my preference. To the Google.

… Nope, 140mm rotor needed. To the eBay.

[hozn]

Yeah, not uncommon to have frames only fit 140. (My road frame, for example.)
