Gorgeous. Gorgeous enough to make me want to hit myself in the forehead with a hammer. Gorgeous enough to make me gnaw on my palm a la Lenny and Squiggy. Gawk at those huge seatstays, drool on those minute welds along the elegant bb eccentric. Those swoopy dropouts, silver headbadge, and shotpeening suggest that puppy is put together by none other than the angelic indyfab. Everybody should have this bike. It will make you faster, smarter, and stronger, and members of the opposite sex (or same, if you swing that way) will fight to drink the sweat from your chamois.
Okay, Phil, can I have one now? Please?
Hot damn that bike would look sweet with some gears on!

Absolutely right! Unfortunately, there isn't any cable routing. I know! You could hammer in a nail and bend it!
Cable guides are for poser wussies. Zip ties and full length cables, that's where it's at.
Shaun aRe - And I ain't kidding, take a look at my ride on Bomba's site.

What about cable guides for full length housing?
Who needs 'um when there's perfectly good, bright yellow zip-ties kicking around?!?!? Geeze Bomba, I thought you were wiser than that.

Hose clamps would work too. Hose clamps and a Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub. And I'll bet those chainstays could manage a coaster brake in case your fingers wind up in the spokes somehow.

Hose clamps do no better of a job at cable guiding, cost more, and ruin paint work. As a cable end stop however, they are perfect (one on my bike for front mech cable end stop - frame was built for rear mech only).

32 gears is overkill. No 'serious' mountain biker needs, or would be seen dead with 32 gears. 27 gears is the exact correct, perfect number of gears needed for any and all trail situations, not one more, nor one less. Hey, and not to mention 32 doesn't split into 3 equal integers. 16 speed cassette anyone? Hah!

I don't care. I have no pride. I know no shame. Nope, not bothered.
