A customer wanted me to fit the Di2 group set to a Giant Defy advanced. The bike in question was a 2012 model set up for Di2 but not fitted (its fitted as standard to the 2013 model). It has internal routing for all the cables with the battery mount under the left hand chain stay. I have to say its all very neat and tidy and works a treat, the customers first ride confirmed that and he was very pleased. Anyway here are some photos illustrating the set up.

I see that the wire from the handle bars enters the top tube rather than the down tube. Does it then do a 180 and get routed down the head tube to the BB, or does it get routed along the top tube and down the seat tube?
