    Here's mine, it was nice and clean when I bought it, it now has some raceface turbines and is much dirtier. Havent ridden it for a while, I must make amends.

    Put more miles on this rascal than any other bike, I think. Will be getting it in Peaks trim over the weekend. Shame I won't be!

    simondbarnes – I was riding with Horwich CC on Sunday and their man Dave Headon has a Tinbred crosser. His has the same forks as yours. Bit of a co-inkydink.

    Funnily enough we went out on our cross bikes yesterday.

    No recent pictures though.

    Earlier this evening – checking everything works before racing it tomorrow (it does, if you don't include 'me' in the equation…)

    Coleman – that looks ace. TCX 0 is it? What year?

    Mine in distinctively non-racing mode. Off to the BHF ride at Sherwood Pines tomorrow.

    matthew. You can run your cables STI style. IMO it looks far cleaner, and with those bars it wouldn't be a problem.
    When bar end sifters were in common use the cables were fully taped exiting near the stem.
    Just pointing that out as that seems to have been forgotten.

    oldgit – that's how i tried to set them up to start with – i didnt have enough cable length for it to work 🙁 the inners came up about 6 inches short at the rear

    My fault for fitting sealed mudlovers cables. They will be replaced with normal ones and tidier routing when the bars get re taped.

    Not the clearest image, but that's how they were set up. There's nothing wrong at all with the way you've set them up, I think that's how most people do it know. Though for some reason I always think I'm somehow going to get my hands caught in the cables?
    Piccy shows Tommy Simpson and Ramsbottom? finishing the London-Holyhead. Bar end shifters with cable fully wrapped.

    MrSparkle – thanks. It's an 09 TCX frameset, Ksyrium wheels, Ultegra g'set and Ritchey bits.

    That's useful to know oldgit. My fairly standard Cross-Check also has the shifter cables coming out of the bars early and I've always thought it seemed a bit unnecessary.
