Are you talking about the purple Cannondale found in other posts? Because if you are I have a couple suggestions:

1. The last segment of housing on the rear brake - where the housing terminates at the rear - appears to have a tight bend in it. This bit of housing could probably be shortened by a couple cms, or other adjustments made, to reduce this kink.
2. If the wheels have been removed or the brake cables released from the brakes to remove the wheels, the loss of tension allows the cable housing to slip out of the brake lever, and when you go to reattach the brakes the housing doesn't go back into the lever properly. This will cause the brake action to feel extremely rough but otherwise seem to function properly.
