I have Jagwire Titanium on all my bikes but one and use it on all my builds. Has a nice braided look to it when you look close, but overall it gets lost and allows the frame to stand out. Which is what I would want on that beautiful Masi.

As an example.

This looks really nice!

On the Masi, black, always black

Plus 1 on this, pick a color that makes it blend and disappear
