Berma frame internal cable routing

Hi people, I have just taken ownership of a vaguely aero, steel Berma frame. The gear shifter lugs are mounted on top of the down tube (rather than on the sides) and the cables are routed through the frame's tube. At the bottom bracket the cable exits have a small diameter plastic outer to guide the cable and protect the frame, however at the entrance by the shifters, there isn't any. My question is, should there be a similar outer at the top as there is at the bottom or does the cable run naked at the point of entry from the shifters?
Thanks for your help, Dallas.

I realise many, many LFGSS members have been unable to sleep due to the unresolved nature of this query, so I am happy to be able to tell you that following extensive research on my part (going on Italian eBay) I have ascertained, within acceptable parameters of doubt, that the gear cable entries do not have a protective outer cable, however in the case of mine, I might add one, if it'll fit.
Sorry to have left you on tenterhooks for so long and thanks for your interest (no, really).

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
