Good news, my bar tape is getting black pretty quickly.
Cable routing: As long as the curves are smooth I'm not too bothered but I admit that while I was routing I used bikes with drops for reference when I was wondering whether to go under or over. I've been riding around and decided that my brakes and saddle need to come back so at some point I'll give the cockpit a bit of a makeover and I'll bung the cables under the bars at the same time (Only out of the principle of Smoothest Curves with Shortest Amount of Cable though, tradition smadition). In terms of only bar wrapping up to the brakes- luckyskull does his over the whole handlebars and I really like it, dats why I copied him.
Clearances for mudguards for your perusal:
Wardy- I got them from the same bike jumble sale in Muswell Hill where I got my frame. They were new and in packaging though so wouldn't be surprised if you could get them on the internet but I can't remember the name of a brand if there was one. Maybe it began with a 'v'? Yeah, sorry...
