Who is distributing them, do they have a website and do they come in a nicer color? Say pink, or maybe black?

Those are cables, not housings Bill.

What a bunch of whooey.

There's a lot of exposed cable running along the down tube, I understand the company wanting to make their product visabile but I kinda like a clean looking bike. I'm still interested though, not so much for the lightness but for the promise of better performence, always a good thing.

. . . exactly how much weight this would really save and would it be worth it? Do the cables have a Teflon liner like the Avid’s or Gores that would make shifting smoother? Might turn out to be not worth the $$ for the weight saved, kinda like those $90 carbon bottle cages! :rolleyes:

While black isn't pictured, black is available according to the purchase page. It looks like the yellow are "limited edition."

I weighed my Legend, loaded for a distance ride minus filled H2o bottles and food, and it came in at 29 lbs...guess saving weight on cables wouldn't matter much, eh. :crap: :crap:

RA :rolleyes:

Early reports indicate black looks pretty bad. Sorta like putting shoe polish on something yellow.

BBD, you might save 9-10g's. So thats what, two Bumble Bees.

[Sandy]

Yep- Two Bumble Bees, crushed or alive.

In case you are interested, it would take 14,867,987,000,678,098.5 adult Bumble Bees to equal my weight, with an additional 89,567 Bumble Bees, after breakfast.

I just thought that you might want to know.
