Yeah, nah - pretty damn slack of Cippolini to go with continuous housing on the brake; that's lazy and cheap, and basically fraudulent for anything with prestige aspirations.

I like it better this way since the cable is protected the entire way. I was present when my mechanic was assembling the bike so we could have used two pieces but imo and his this gives better protection and prevents cable rattle.

Bought this CAAD12 about 3 weeks ago. I don't know if it's "hot" but it is an amazing ride.

I am now running Mavic Ksyrium Elite USTs. They are lighter, more comfortable and roll much more easily than any clinchers I've ever ridden. The wheel swap has resulted in a drop in weight from 18 lb 5 oz to 17 lb 10 oz. FWIW this CAAD 12 is the 105 version and it has Speedplay Zeros. .

Can't tell much other than the blue Ram truck has duel exhaust and you ride near water. Better presentation would help decide the status of the bike.

I don't have a garage now so this will have to do...
. New Cinelli SC frameset built with Potenza silver crankset, brakes and derailleur and early 90's Athena brake levers, Campy ProFit pedals, Cinelli XA polished stem and Criterium bars, Mavic alloy tubulars, Curtis Odom hubs 32h and Veloflex Vlaanderen tubs, Campy aero seatpost and Selle Italia Flite saddle.I set it up with Ene Ciclo 11 spd DT shifters for that vintage look and feel and these work great_ as a matter of fact I have them on another steel frame. Still need to replace the hoods for the correct ones, these will do until the post office gets around delivering...
