To all,

That brake routing is generally considered Italian style and most of the Italian bikes "back in the day" came this way. My opinion is it's best to set up vintage Italian bikes like this. I have lots of bikes both ways and it doesn't seem to matter to me at all; but some people consider it unacceptable to ride that way. Makes no difference to me, don't know why it bothers other people.

Some of the Euros pros still use that kind of routing as well. I remember seeing Johan Museeuw's bike like this a few years back.

This Masi, like others I have seen (including one of my own), has opposite brake cable routing compared to what is common today. I've allways used left for front and right for rear, but apparently this wasn't the case with many bikes and/or builders of the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
