I could get down with a modern e-stay. The Aliens were pretty notorious for the BB cracking in spectacular ways.
I hope my BB doesn’t crack!
when I got the frame there was a crack where the chainstay contacted the seat tube, which I just assumed was probably the common point of failure for those frames

For all the griping about internal cable/hose routing, buyers like the aesthetics of it 
I think all the Mosaic offerings are internally routed now FWIW
Oh yeah, it looks slick af. Can’t imagine working on it though. Youtube mechanic did a time comparison on changing headset bearings on external vs internal routing and it was truly ridiculous.
