Went to pick up our new backstay yesterday. Now the cable is swaged on both ends.

New standing rigging is... not cheap. The price tag was a bit high, but after doing some calculations it seemed like it wouldn't have been that much cheaper with mechanical swages, either...
Dev & I took the bus back from the shop with the new(and old) cable. Got a lot of funny looks and questions from other riders, "What is *that* for?"
