I don't get the copper cable crimps. The thing I understand least about Rivendell (or anyone who is into bikes) is why they use crimps on the end of cables. I have been soldering cable ends for many, many years - once you solder it, it is done. There is no more crimping and un-crimping and shortening or disposal of cables that have frayed from the crimp when you need to pull a cable out. Crimping just always looks cheap to me. It took a while to find the correct solder and flux for SS cable, but that change was years ago. The exception to this is the 11 speed cables with Teflon - I haven't developed a procedure yet to remove the Teflon (I haven't tried super glue either), but only one of my 21 (22?) has the Teflon cable.
