Frames should really come with standardized permanent wiring and hydro lines as part of the frame and fork. Just embed in the resin with ports for stem, derailleurs, brakes. With steering stacks going aero (a winning look imo) there's plenty of room to run wires up from the headtube to the stem, then through the stem to the bars and to the shifters.
What happens if/when those internal wires or brake hoses need to be replaced though?
I think all electronic shifting will soon be wireless anyway, so really it's just the hydro brake hoses left to deal with. Maybe we will have electronic braking... lol.
