I like how you've run full length housing for the rear section the shifter cable. Would love to see the tube stay wrapping tidied up a bit though; try pulling it taught as you're winding it.

See what I did. (I ended up doing the same to the seatstay as well)

great frame with lots of potential upgrades to be made!

like Tek said.... spend abit more time wrapping the rear swing arm and it can look really nice!
lose the electrical tap and use a zip tie or double sided tape instead.

this is what I did with the missus Trance:



Also.. if you really want to run full length outers... consider what I did
Use the supplied tabs, but run a section of outter where the exposed cable would've been.
