I know you're just shitposting but the visible machinations of a bicycle, how it bears its workings on the surface, is one of its greatest charms, it is an honest machine.

much of this is lost in translation with hydraulic hoses and electronic shifting cables, because those things are not visible in operation and do not have an interesting journey across a frame with housing stops.
The need to hide 'clutter' is a sign of poor quality. You will see this in all forms of construction. A well made house will have less flushings and mouldings because there is care paid to the joins of materials.
