Routing shifter cables into 6700 levers?
I've been searching for over an hour, and I can't figure out where to insert these cables. Does anyone here know?
Edit: finally managed to get the cable through in reverse, so I found the desired hole. Now just to get it back in the other direction...
Nevermind. I flipped the bike over and used a flashlight and got it. Hardest part of building this bike.

SRAM cable installation is similarly difficult. Finding where it goes is easy, but getting the cable end to bend and follow the channel causes me a lot of trouble.

Actually, routing internal cables was up there as hardest as well. My wife came up with the genius idea of using a magnet to grab the cable and it worked! I am still amazed.
But the hardest part of all was wrapping the bar tape. It took me about 5 tries to get it ok. It still has a few odd lumps/loose areas, but I'm satisfied.
