I'm thinking the rest is still the cables as they pass by the head tube before heading down the down tube.
Problem is, I don't know how to fix. Tape around the top tube is lame and pretty ugly. Can't tape the cables to the head tube as that would impact steering. Anyone know a reasonable solution? Thanks.
Maybe you got too much cable slack... you only need to be able to turn your handlebar 45 degrees either way. If this is the case you will have to shorten your cable housing. If you are doing this pay attention to how the cables are routed and arranged when it exits the handlebar and enters the top tube. Try and keep the cables away from each other and the frame.
