<p>The present invention relates to a bicycle (10) in which at least a portion of a control cable (24, 26, 28, 30) is routed internally. In particular, a bicycle (10) according to the invention comprises a frame (14), the frame (14) including a heard tube (82); a fork assembly (76) carried by the frame (14); and a cable guide (158) positioned at least partially within the head tube (82) and connected to the fork assembly (76), the cable guide (158) including at least one groove (132, 134) adapted for receiving the portion of the control cable (24, 26, 28, 30). The invention extends to a method of routing the control cables (24, 26, 28, 30) through a bicycle frame (14) to minimize aerodynamic losses that are caused by control cables (24, 26, 28, 30). More particularly, the method includes the steps of providing a bicycle frame (14) comprising a head tube (82), providing a fork steerer (110) including a groove (132, 134) formed in the fork steerer (110) at least partially within the head tube (82), and positioning a portion of the cable (24, 26, 28, 30) within the groove (132, 134).</p> |
