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

 

Don't ask about the saddle tilt, that was not our doing smiley2.gif

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
