Ed, is your one the same diamond-shaped configuration which won't pinch a cable along the top centre, CX-style?

In my head it is! I think it's often like that for frequent shouldering on a cyclocross bike. And maybe it's also sheltered a little from track muck being thrown up.

many road bikes with out internal routing have it and many MTB's without internal routing have it otherwise you have 3 cables going down down tube and over BB
my hybrid has a cable under the top tube, my bros vintage road bike has cable under top tube, my other bros 'MTB' has it, my dads 'MTB' has it and my mums vintage/classic tourer/hybrid has it so i don't think it is possible to associate this with CX!

Are we talking (cyclo)cross purposes here? I'm talking about cables routed along the top of the tube.

Yes, CX purposes so the bike can be carried on the shoulder over certain ground.

lovely thanks
why is this is it to protect the cable when on your shoulder or to protect your shoulder from the cable cutting into it?
Cheers Ed
