Alligator does them too

€40 for one bikes worth of cables (either shift or brake)

^do you have a link?

The Alligator stuff warps, it is lighter and softer than Nokon, avoid (in my opinion).

Alligator i-Link:

I'm reading good reviews and experiences from users, even in comparison to the Nokons. Strokes for folks I guess.

One of the bad things about NOKON, in my opinion, is that it's hard to maintain a nice curve.
They're so flexible that they stay in every shape you give them.
More a freehand line than a curve.

I was using the Alligator stuff for polo, maybe the abuse was too much... it became useless after a couple months.

You can permanently squash an i-link by squeezing it between two fingers, it slowly kinks under heavy braking. This is not the case with Nokon.

No. 3 please. It's gorgeous.

Yessss.

No.

Is it wrong that I'd go straight for number 12? So much so that in the back of my mind I'm forming potential builds specifically so that I can have a bike that colour?

That's fine, only blue is not allowed. I say.

If all conversions were that tasteful, you might not have acquired such prejudice over the years (and there would be no anti porn thread)

Also, no puppies have died, so it's fine.

In my opinion a bike that looks like this should have ahead stem. Only reason to go quill seems to be "keeping it real", this doesnt look "real" to me with that quill.

that bike is a mess... I think they put it together just for the pic or to have it in exposition in the shop

Are those tubular rims? look super skinny.
