Or Weigling a wire? Either way, a painstaking exercise in artistry and fabrication. This triple-conductor, braided shielded cable has to undergo multiple delicate splice junctions along the way (every one of them soldered), while remaining strong, secure, weatherproof and, equally importantly, looking the part. Likewise, the frame's wiring accommodations have to be carefully thought out and executed. Notice Peter's magnificent tear-drop exit from the fork, and cable guide braze-on (each designed for specific diameter wires)... incredible details on this bike.
