View Full Version : Steel frames w/internal routing for EPS/Di2--anyone?
Does anyone know of a manufacturer that can produce a steel frame built for internal cable routing in order to run Campy EPS or Dura Ace Di2?
Thanks.

Most of the custom builders I have worked with can build a frame suitable for electronic shifting... Dave Anderson has a steel frame with Ultegra Di2 on his website for example.

I still hate not being able to fit that anymore
to answer OP--lots of biulders will do it. Not cheap though. there is a great IF XCR max tubing Di2 bike on ebay now,
A-train cycles, as well as ellis, dave anderson, IF are ones I have seen

You've had no shortage of nice bikes, but that one was stunning.
Shouldn't be that hard to retrofit an existing frame if you didn't want to spend the money on something new. I think someone here was trying to unload a Ritchey travel frame that he had modified to take Di2. The mod looked pretty good.

It's a big no-no for many manufacturers for an owner to do that. With Serotta, for example, drilling holes in the frame voids the warranty

The guys at Firefly will build you up a bike with internally routed cables. Their site says this is a $200 option.
Yeah, I want something with at the least Spirit tubing. I'm actually thinking of stainless steel this time around.
