It's probably just me but it just looks tacky. I think it's because I have a Cervelo S1 and it routs cleanly through the frame and tight under the BB.
The way these frames are made would make it pretty difficult to route the cable through the BB. the entire BB "bulkhead" is three pieces: the two right and left halves are brazed together around the BB shell. Each half of the bb "bulkhead" uses the DSW tech-bit where the tubes are all welded using a shelf joint rather than a butt joint. because there's a flange hydroformed into the bb "bulkhead" it's difficult to get cable pass-through regions to match from side-to-side and between the bulkhead and downtube.
