Here is a nice bling bike we built for a good customer.

I must say I was a little disappointed to see that they didn't change the tubes when they renamed the Ti as well. Prefer the look of the Alu FTM.

Nice bike. What's the thing between the bottle cage and the frame?

 

Nicely spotted, it's a Topeak x-15 adapter so that you can pull the bottle out at an angle.

 

Happy Birthday W.

Nice built.

 

I notice the frame protector stickers - for me it spoils the frame.

 

In my wanderings I have seen the following alternatives:

 

My previous LBS used to buy O-rings and skewered them on the cables for use as frame protection.

 

When using a cable tie to fix a cable on a frame without a small little stub: cut a piece of rubber tube, 1/2 cm long. Slip the cable tie through it before looping it round the cable and back through the tube. Then tie round the frame or front shock. This looks great, I though it was a special thingy until I removed the cable one day - was pretty impressed!

 

Plz note: I am not sending this to talk anyone down.

can you expand on the above a bit more. do you tie the cable tie just around the cable and then fix it to the frame with another tie ?

 

wots goin on here ?

Only one cable tie is used.

 

Push the cable tie through the cut-off rubber pipe section, circle the same section of the cable tie around the brake cable, loop it back into the cut-off rubber pipe section, then tie the cable tie around the frame/shock.

 

Hope the above explains
