VERY nice ti kona--thing looks brand new. i look at my tired old POS and just sigh. something i did as far as kona cable routing was to take the right shifter housing and put it to the left stop on downtube,looping around the front of headtube--left shifter housing loops around front to the right stop--then cross the bare cables before they thread into that plastic guide on the bottom instead of side by side. no sharp angles and it shifts pretty good--i dunno, just a thought
