Adding an option for external cabling (going in the down tube instead of through stem) would make other handlebars useful.
Would strongly agree with having an option for external cable routing. Even just having the simple plate cover /Di2 port / cable port option present on other frames would be a big benefit for me. I've personally turned down many frames due to being forced to go full internal.
I mean, how hard can it be? Just cut a few holes, mount a few cable ports, and you've suddenly greatly increased your market size
eg. the Carbonda CFR 1056 offers the option to route internal/external, and the last I've heard, everyone's happy with how their cables are run.
