Just came across this while browsing. https://ebay.us/VuwRJP I have no intention of buying it, but it struck me as odd - looks quite nice and clean, but why doesn't it have any cable guides at all? I get that you could zip tie everything, but it just seems really odd. Any ideas?
Looks like a copy of a Stooge rather than a Jones.
Guess you could use stick on cable guides, they work pretty well.
This thing has been doing the rounds a long time, wouldn't touch it with a frozen sausage.
Clamp on cable guides might work.

Have bought a couple of frames from elli, decent chap, never had an issue. Think he buys stuff to try and sells it on. Nice old boy.
He seems to be selling the whole bike too.
I still don't get why you'd build a Ti frame with no guides whatsoever, and imo it looks a bit crap with zip ties in the build, although yes the stick on guide suggestions probably wouldn't be too bad.
I bet he had it made and rode it single speed, he only rides with a front brake if i remember rightly.
Looks like it could be quite fun for £300. Coaster brake!
