Meh, I do like the integrated cables! And I am thinking getting a frame with internal cable routing seems like an excellent splurge for my mid-life cries.

But, I might just have a weird opinion, as a woman, but I don't like using special bags on my bike for every day. I'd rather carry my everyday bag. And not wear it while biking. So a rack is a must have for me.

I also don't like integrated tech that can easily be obsoleted. Who knows if they will be around in 2 years when that computer dies. Then you are kinda stuck with no replacement options. And these won't likely sell enough to have a thriving 3rd party accessory market. It feels like a bike designed to trash in 2 years, because you have to upgrade to the latest model.
