Maybe I just spend too much time in the C&V forum... It looks right the way it is. These people talking about how bikesdirect will no longer be respectable in the cycling world upon release of this cable routing... wow. I'm glad they weren't around before aero brake levers were invented.
And even if the extra turns aren't detrimental, from what I've read, on larger frames you gotta buy tandem cables/housing if you want to go under the handlebars. Just seems silly to me.
