Thank you all for the many suggestions!

I think the best solution is the most obvious one, that I dumbly discarded: using the cable guide that slots there. I thought it would not stay in place without cables, but I tried to push it in and it holds reasonably well + has them holes for water egress 👀

Pants are on, I’m out!

Advice for plugging mechanical shifting hole?

Pretty barebones test done by Velo, but interesting topic. What do you think?

Specialized Aethos frame: opinions on seemingly good offer - Lemmy.World

Hi all, I am slowly acquiring components to build up a honest mid-high to high-end road bike to keep for as long as possible. I was waiting for the new Time Scylon frame to become available, but I noticed a pretty deep discount on a Specialized Aethos frame for 1800€ (here [https://www.biker-boarder.de/specialized/3130846.html]). UVP lies at 3800€ (Specialized website [https://www.specialized.com/de/de/aethos-rahmenset/p/4221548?color=5440794-4221548]). Apart from the obvious question of taste regarding the color scheme, it looks like a pretty nice offer. The Aethos looks to be made for home mechanics (threaded BB, non-integrated headset, round seat clamp) and ride very well. What are your thoughts? The hypothetical Time Scylon goes for like 5000€, so I would invest much less money. Should I go for it? :)

Pink looks dope!
I agree :) I was mainly unsure of the silver fades but they look interesting in person
Those are rookie numbers. My e-bike weighs 38 kg.
The rider of this frame weighs >80kg, so any weight weening on the bike is pretty moot 😆 but it’s quite fun
Pink bikes are best bikes :D
Stunning! The threaded BB makes my mechanic heart sing (as does the cable routing) - this is going to be a wonderful build.
These are the features that won me! I already foresee routing the braking lines in the 15cm pass through in the handlebar being more challenging than the frame… D:
This is rad!
…in German “Rad” means “wheel” but is commonly used to mean “bicycle”: so yeah, it will soon be “ein Rad” :P
