I've done it on a steel frame, drilled a hole in the down tube, fed cable down to the BB and out through a hole in the shell, routed along the mudguard lip to rear guard mounted light. Used some rubber grommets that I got off ebay to tidy up the holes in the frame.

This is exactly what I've been pondering today. I like my bikes looking neat and the integrated 'constructeur' thing appeals.
Did you drill into the head lug on the underside of the DT? What're the chances of the tube failing? I was wondering about a braze-on bottle cage mount which I've seen done but then ... repaint. How to stop a crack forming/spreading from the drilled holes in fork or DT?What about internal routing in the front fork, anyone done this successfully? I'd like to keep the wiring as tidy as possible (inside fork to front, under front mudguard to lower head lug, coil, down down tube, maybe through BB shell, out the back, inside mudguard to rear light.
Simple. 😂
Is the Edelux coaxial too thick to conceal in the rolled edge of a VO ali mudguard? Id wondered about splitting a bell cable wire and having it concealed in both sides of the mudguard.

This is the obvious solution for internal. I did wonder about routing around the inside of the headtube as the light will be rack mounted, but it would mean tight turns in the cable, and there's probably not enough space anyway. Argos have said they can sort something but I think they're refusing to engage me on the subject until I actually drop the frame off.

Anyone had a frame modified for internal routing? What was involved? Was it worth it? Are there any better neat solutions for external routing (hydro braze-ons)?
