Earlier in this thread, Barrettscv posted a couple picks of an early cyclocross with 2 exposed cables atop the top tube.
Below is one of my wife's bikes- its a 90s rigid frame Scott MTB. You can see the exposed cables on the top of the top tube. Both shift cables and the rear brake cable are located there.
