Why do the brake cables route along the top of the top tube on Jabberwocky and Bandersnatch models?
In true Vassago style, function over form. Some people think it gives a cleaner look to hide the cables under the toptube. Aesthetically, yes. However, we build our bikes around the trail experience first, then make it look pretty. We run the cables on top of the top tube, to allow easy portages or rock scrambling, with the bike over your shoulder. Function first, pretty second, if there’s still room. Shifter cables route down along the downtube and under the BB shell.
