What I want to change about the above is the routing. When it's all connected up it looks a bit more, well, wiry than I envisioned. Part of this is certainly that the cable exits the steerer tube really high up and is thus really conspicuous; I left a ton of extra steerer just in case but I think I can safely trim an inch off. I am thinking of routing the wiring through the aero extensions, which conveniently already have cutouts for bar end shifter cables. The hole is right behind the display clamp, so I think it should look pretty neat. I'm also thinking about trying to figure out how to route the wire to the derailleur internally, but it might not be worth the effort and complexity given that if I leave it as is I can just heat shrink it to the brake cable and it will probably look fine.
The wire enters the frame where the down tube shifter bosses used to be and is held in place with these grommets that I'm quite pleased with. The geometry works with the layer lines and the gloss of the material to create a visual effect. You might say they are 'authentically digital'.
The one underneath the bottom bracket is less interesting, but who's looking there anyway?
