Forgive me if someone else asked and I missed it..but what cable housing are you using on this bike? Almost looks like braided aircraft hydraulic

Good call but not quite. I have made stainless oil and brake hoses for motorcycles for many years and when I saw that Goodridge were into the cycle scene as well I started hunting around.
They now do a range of cable sets and outers which are really well made. The outers are really robust and are very difficult to crease or damage. They have an additional woven stainless braid over the outer which then has a choice of clear or dark grey outer finish. I like the clear as it shows the woven stainless below. The outer has a blue tube teflon liner and the finishers and ferrules are top notch with a sleeve extension that prevents any potential chafe where they locate in the levers or components. The inners are also teflon coated and with a quick wipe of slick 50 one-lube at assembly time I have never had any signs of chafe, corrosion or drying.
I have also used them when repairing a bike for a buddy who does absolutely no bike maintenance at all through-out the year including the winter with road salt etc and so far his bike has survived ok.
I'm sure that there is someone who could give us a whole load of negatives with regard to additional weight etc and why I have generous loops in the outer runs but they work for me and have never let me down.

Yesterday morning's project. Not a BD bike - LBS had the Talon frame and an Airfoil fork sitting around so I've been collecting components since September (a couple of STers have parts on it). Fun project, and I'm looking forward to spring break on March 5 so I can drive very far south to find a place to ride it.

Nice TalonFoil! I'm kind of partial to Talons and have many years of fast riding on my 2003 Talon SL.

Well, it's not a great pic . . . I've never taken a pic of it but always "meant to." I took a pic cuz I'm sellin the wheels, but heres My bike! I'm getting 404 Zipp FCs and a Rotor Quark as soon as the wheels sell. I'll update the pic (with a cleaned up bike too), but here's a pic of her as she stands!
2006 Cervelo Soloist: I converted it to a full tri cockpit, and love my position. The frame is bulletproof, stiff, and fast . . . I could afford a new carbon P series frame, but I just love my bike!

How do you pedal that thing?

And this little fella's Tour of Romandie Prolog winning machine
It's since been sanded, reprimed & ready for a new paint scheme. Will keep the original fork although it's all aluminum and weighs 560gms! Cavendish's TT bike was aluminum and not all that light. Or I might sell it after it's painted, don't know.

Sorry, bought from Capital Cycles in Wellington in March 2010.
Great bike, super smooth and handles very well due to the long trail it has. If you tend to a narrow and tall geometry like me (long legs, short torso) then it's a great option.

Just a guess, but Avatar is your favorite movie, right?
that was funny, but if you look at his flicker account you can see that the blue or teal is a result of the flash from the camera.
I am guessing you know that though :)
