Yeah I'm thinking the same, this is my first attempt with bar ends too. All the guides I could find basically said tape it firmly to remove as much stretching as possible.
What would be ideal is a cable guide you can clamp to the bars under the tape for the exit point. I'll have a google see if such a thing exists.The randonneurs are strange man, I'm used to compact drops where everything lines up nicely, so having the splay on these makes the world a puzzling place

That looks great, really stunning. I quite like the shape of the randonneurs!
I feel like the bar end shifters could do with some sort of tunnel, that's concealed by the tape but makes the exit neater, and I think it would help prevent the tape around the cable getting stretched out... know what I mean?
I've never used bar ends though so just speculating!
