[Closed] Front hose routing weirdness?

Just taken receipt of this rather lovely Bucksaw from Merlin. I’m scratching my head at this front hose routing though, never seen it done this way with the hose right -around- the headtube then down the fork.

Anyone else think this is odd or am I just ignorant? 😄

Are you sure it hasn't just been sent with the forks rotated extra to keep the hose out of the way and the forks need a full rotation to untangle the hose nefore fitting the bars?

Doesn't everyone start off their first ride on a new bike with a bar spin?

@nickc, yup, that’s the situation (sorry, pic doesn’t appear to be showing) - it was running from RH lever in front of the headset, then round the back and out again to the front before going into the guide on the LH side of the crown. Never seen that before!

@bigyinn / @greyspoke- alas, bar spins not in my repertoire 😄
