That Inde could be so nice if it didn't have all the junk hanging off it... Poor build attempt is fail.

Essentially yeah, it is a Silver paint that carries the current from the shifters to the derailleurs. I have a few more pics with detail shots.

neat idea, But id be super paranoid about snagging a wire on something. Not that normal wiring is all that much better, but little solder dots aren't exactly the strongest connection

It's literally a show bike, never going to be ridden just shown off in the shop, we had 2 other bikes as well which are going to be ridden but aren't as complicated as this.

The fact that it's Di2 with no junction box... Shifting through the paint on the frame not through cables...

That's actually very smart. Do that as a base layer and vinyl wrap it to protect the soldering.

My mistake, I was under the impression that bikes were actually supposed to be ridden : P

I think he might ride it but he has like 50 bikes that are all hand made and then 1 beater that he rides 24/7. Dunno what's the deal with him but he's spending the cash with us so meh.
