I suggest you create a new thread to get an ID on your bike. You'll get more eyes that way.

9:02 in the video.
I have a stem like that one of my bikes and this is how the cable is run:
I could be wrong, but I don't think they had internal routing back then.
Edit: I think their bikes are the 1989 Trek 8000. Here is how it looks in the catalog:

Internal must have been common I think. My old pug had it, the goose got it and my litage has all cables internal

I'd understand full internal routing, but they appear to only have internal routing for the front brake. You can see the other 3 cables in my screenshot.

This blue might be tough to match, it's a brilliant color but a matte finish.

New bike day! Mid-90s Jamis Exile, which I plan to use as my winter commuter with a few mods. 7-speed drivetrain works fine, as does everything else, I’d say. A lot lighter than the Specialized HardRock I used as a winter commuter some time back.

My Cinelli as she stands. I swapped the carradice bag for a basket that fits a couple boxes of beer today, also so the seat can go down and more people can ride it.
Might change a couple more things one day but it's pretty sweet.

I passed on an old school Rocky Mountain a few weeks ago. It was at a pawn shop, and looks like it was kept in a back bedroom and ridden a handful of times, if that. Lugged frame, high end components, etc. 19 inch frame though, and I ride a 22-23 inch.

This is the 2nd 1990 Diamond Back Apex I have picked up. This one is 1 size smaller than my last and is already destined for someone after I go through it.
The photo is as purchased.

Added some new lipstick to this 95 Kona Hot. 2x10 XT with microshift thumbies. Really, really digging this one.

I have lusted after an early 90's Kona Hot since the early 90's. I could not even afford to look at them back then.
