Front brake sorted. Possibly could have left the hose a tiny bit longer, but shouldn't be an issue functionally.
I followed this video, and seems like I got a good result both times.

I've been putting off working on hydraulic brakes after some less successful previous attempts, but possibly it's not as much of a dark art as I thought. Maybe I should finally service the Bullitt as well.
I was thinking of routing the front brake hose under the fork crown. For one, it wouldn't rub on the head tube when the fork compresses—any reason why this might be a bad idea?
Other than that, there's just the dropper post cabling left, plus all the random finishing touches. Hope to be out riding this weekend 😍
