Did anyone fixed the problem or is it really a construction error :s

So this bike never was able to have a cable run through it? Or it did have a cable when new? I agree that there are a lot of poorly done internal routings out there. But if the bike came with a cable that worked I don't know if I'd call not being able to route a replacement cable as a warranty. Out of curiosity how old is this bike and who long is the warranty good for independent of whether this problem is a proper claim or not? Andy.
