Di2, it enters in on the top tube right behind the stem.

Propel is hot, but probably could zip-tie or tape that DI2 wire to the stem and clean it up. Is the junction box on top of the stem? Can't it be on the bottom? That wire isn't very aero.

Yeah, I think I'd try to get it to run under the handlebars. That would drive me crazy.

Yep, junction box is on the top because my stem is too short to mount it on the bottom. Unfortunately, I can't really zip tie it down unless I replace some of the cables with much longer ones or with the current set up I can potentially damage the cables by kinking them. And, blame Giant for it's cable routing, 
.
To this day, I still don't understand why Shimano designed the junction box by having all the ports on one side. It would've been a lot nicer if they had two ports on side and one on the other. Makes no sense to me what so ever....

6770 has the shifters go into one side and the cable to the battery/derailleurs come out the other, at least.

Not. Has potential, but I personally don't care for the mismatched bar tape, the pink cable housing, the steering tube above stem or the grey cages.
I feel it would be SO much cleaner with just blue bar tape to bring out the blue stripe on the frame and leave all else black.

I don't mind the pink cables (with the other pink accents already in place), but I wouldn't do the mis-matched tape, either, I'd stick with blue.

I dig the fuji and the mismatched bartape. I say, have fun with it. Did you paint the bit on the saddle pink or did it come like that?

I like the mismatch too. I have a hard time remembering faces when everyone is in a helmet and shades but I remember bikes pretty well and that one I'd never forget.

Not because it's not all black ... the mismatched bar tape is just ... meh.
Go full blue to accent the the rest of the decals on the bike or go full pink to highlight your nail polishing efforts - either would look great but mismatching just detracts from both aspects either of which independently would make the bike look great.
