I like how it says Turd on the downtube of that Scott. Some of the aero road bikes from Cervelo and I think Cannondale have had some failures from the steering stops being damaged in not so bad crashes. Steering stops exist so that turning doesn’t damage the hidden cables. Stupid. If I put on my aluminum foil hat, internal exists to sell electronic shifting as that is the only cure for bad cable routing that internal often presents. Frog in boiling water. We are letting manufacturers sell us more and more complex shit that we really don’t need.
