moog's Surly Straggler

It's got me thinking about coloured cables, or is that going to take me straight to Anti?

Depends. There was a cx cinelli posted in porn ages ago that had multi coloured cables - think electric wiring. I thought it looked awesome an I'd general shy away from that sort of stuff. Also it's a fun bike so I think you're allowed some bad taste bits, like you'd have on a bmx or mtb.
