I've gone for the SON for almost purely aesthetic reasons, I think it looks rather swish ahah.
I also won't be running 'guards, and I want to avoid the seatpost or seattube mounted option for the sake of seatpacks and paintwork respectively.
I'm going to make up a mount to fit to this nubbin circled (or possibly the rack mounts). (Bike is a Bombtrack Hook EXT.) I haven't got the bike yet (ETA two weeks whoo!), so shall attempt fabricating once I do.Notes re Di2 strips, I have heard that about the adhesive. Shame as I think it would be quite subtle and also protect the wire from framepacks/bike racks etc.
That sounds very pleasing indeed! However I can say with absolute certainty I will not be having braze-ons added to my brand new frame haha. Maybe once it's out of warranty...

@Cyclopathic the B&M mini rear, also rack mount 50mm spacing, is near identical to the SON. SON also make a natty mudguard-mount version, sits at 10 o'clock ish on the curve of the guard, if that helps you fit something.
As for the fixing: beware buying a cheap bundle of Di2 stickon strips as i did this and they didn't stick properly, think the glue had got old - no-one's really using these for Di2 really because it's all internal routing now.
I've used Sugru to fix cables with some success. Helps to use cableties to get it taught against the tube, then apply your blobs and wait for it to harden.
My latest wheeze was to have brazeons attached to a frame i was doing other work on, used mudguard eyes mounted flat onto the fork blades/tubes, domed hex bolts and tiny 3.4mm nylon P clips. The cable sits taught away from the frame though, about a mudguard-eye's depth to be precise. But it's fairly pleasing.
