Light.
The light is in the way.
Plus I rather the brakes to be able to tweak easily without any complicated mumbo jumbo such as cable through the seat tube.
If the cable snapped during a audax, I rather it take less than 5 minutes to route the new cable through than ages trying to thread it through the seat tube, functionality still play a huge roles on this bike despite some of the request of a 120mm spacing, limiting to only 6 speed, can go no bigger than a 50t chainring etc.
Brake won’t work on the inside of the seat stay because I wanted the pump pegs there.
At the moment, the bike perform 100%, even Dan have the foresight to raise the canti mount as high as he can to allow mini v without obstruction the mudguard even thought I have no intention of running mini v.
He wanted to fit detachable brake hanger to allow the hanger to be set at the optimised angle, also allow other brand of cantilever should I wish to make a change (the main reason why I went for canti; huges choices than just Paul).
Took it out for a 100k ride to Windsor and back yesterday, I’m still amazed by how great the gears work, the stiffer chainstay and lighter than air feeling of how the bike ride.

Its nice scoble but the rear brake cable stop is still at the wrong location, it might work fine etc. but if I pay top custom biek dollar I wouldnt be able to live with that.
Your Oak is better.
