Rather cool erm could be a bugger to bleed tho?

Meh. Would be cooler if there were no visible brake lines at all,and the seat post tied in with the rest of the build.

Harsh critic, maybe, but I genuinely don't like what they've done with the brake lines, if I saw it anywhere else I'd think it was a bodge.

Not really, it's still only pipes no matter how long and twisted.
No different to doing car brakes.

Last thing I ever did with installing car brake lines were loop the loops! A distillery...now that's different

How come the old timers didn't make portable stills all hooked up to an old frame? Boozy ride away from the lawmen, o'er the glens on the tipplemachine.

I don't know about that Mickey but it looks like they've been twisted with precision.
Can't see a problem
Fluid will flow fine if done properly
