I think SC has nailed it with their cable routing. IMO no one does it better
(5010, Bronson, Nomad, Hightower all the same).
One of the reasons I got a v2 5010 - as well as being a dynamite bike of
course - was for the routing. Such a clean looking frame -- and it makes the
bike SO easy to clean for those of us in mucky climates. And zero cable
rattling.
I have no problems they've left the rear brake line exposed. Since it sits
above the downtube - unlike the Ibis HD3 where the brake line (again the only
line exposed) runs under the downtube - it keeps cleaning easy. And f course
there's the simpler bleeding element too.
