I've just replaced cables on my 1996 Klein. It was a pain, and was all about situating the frame so that gravity worked for me. I ended up with the frame almost perfectly horizontal, with just a slight slope towards the exit hole (on the bottom side of course). It took me a while to figure out that orientation, so it took an hour or more to route it. Well, I ended up having to replace the brake handle, so had to repeat the process. This time it took maybe a minute, tops. I thought about taking pics, as it was the first time I had a bike in this crazy position on my repair stand.
Note, my comments are in regards to a rear brake cable, all ran internal, and the thin sleeve was MIA.
+1 Routing under your BB looks wrong. On my bike, it had the typical plastic screw on cable guide.
