Looks like it belongs inside the brake lever or something.

Edit: It looks like the whole cable housing runs through the top tube - yes? The stock way of doing this was with little insert cable stops which are probably very hard to find now... but if the uncut housing thing works, I've gotta say BRILLIANT!
yep - caribean fade
shimano pedals
the rear brake housing runs uncut through top tube

Faceplate on front brifter is either RX100 or Shimano 105 (I think it is 105).

Incredible trade BTW.
actually a mixed set
L brifter is 105
R is dura ace

thanks again for all the comments folks - glad you enjoyed the pics - prob the paint doesnt get justice w the overcast misty morning - but up close - its very cool
