I dont know if Waltly would do it, but you could ask for a 3d printed yoke or another machined design that allows for fully internal routing. The cost probably wouldnt be worth it though and upgrading to run a Sram AXS system might be cheaper.

Ok, you guys are right and I am convinced  ;D

Yes, mechanically actuated shifting for now (may go AXS in the future) and yes, I will route it myself.

We have a first design, and overall it seems to address most of my request.

The only missing piece, and I wanted to ask you, is this

From the drawing, I believe that is the chainstays looking up. In my understanding, the only way they could design that to fit the 42T chainring and the 50C at the same time is by putting a flattened part in the right chainstay. That means that the cable needs to go out around that part, correct? Do you have any ideas or suggestions of how can I avoid this (if at all possible)?

I'm also going through the process of having a Ti frame built by Waltly and asked for internal routing with roughly the same tire clearance, etc.  While you do need to route the cable on the outside to get around the chainrings, those 2 oval cut outs on the chainstay are for the cable to go back into and then out of the chainstay.  There may also be a place on the yoke to tie the cable so things stay in place.

Ahh great to know. I was worried about cables moving around.

Hi guys. Are you sure bikegeocalc.com shows fork A-C length? I thought is shows on axis length.
