Cool beans Nate. So no guide tubes for the cables? Do you just use the plastic liners? That would certainly keep the internal routing a touch lighter than the traditional method.

Yes Sir! Just some short pieces at the BB shell. A short "guide" tube out of SS that exits out of the ST for the front derailleur cable.

Hi Nate.

How do you lead the gear wires through the bottom bracket?
Beautiful seatstays BTW :D

They run high over the cranks spindle. Some removal and smoothing of the shell is required. For frames with a front derailleur I braze in a short SS guide tube for the wire.Thanks! NATE
