Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

Can you not get a cable guide brazed onto the seatstay?

Like this;

I did ask the framebuilder about that, however it appear that there's not much room at all, I lowered the cable holder down and notice that if it were in-line with the seatstay, there's little room for the cable to bend, unless it's through the seattube/seatpost;

We're discussing it here since it's pretty much the right place for it according to every forumeanger in this side of the internet.

I don't think it look half bad, took a better photos of it today;

v brakes surely?
I have xt on my lht with Tektro v drop levers...

Because your drop levers work is designed to work with v-brake.
