I am trying so hard not to look at this...
Re:
There's only one thing I don't like about it. The gear cable adjusters on the headtube.
Firstly, they tend to knacker the sti cables if you turn the bars, as they run so close to the caliper arm.

The outer cable gets damaged, where it comes out of the ferrule.
Secondly, to lubricate the cable from the lever to the stop, you have to take the cables out of the mechs, to get enough movement in the outer cable. With conventional bolt on stops on the downtube, you only need to undo the 3mm, or 2.5mm bolt holding the stop on, and you have enough movement in the outer to lubricate the inner.
Still, nice colours!
