route BOTH cables in the front?

I have a itm unika that has the dual channel in front and I have really grown to prefer it over 1 in front, 1 in back.

what other lightweight bars route the cables this way for campy?

Ritchey all have one in the front.

Easton have none, just a ellipsoid shape thing.

Then most "wing" bars.

nope, not internal... just in front.

you can see here:

that the channel in front is double -wide and both brake and shift run in one "trough"

I have pretty much decided to stick with this bar as 1) it is light @ 175g 2) has the dual channel and basically the bar is round and small diameter from brake hood to stem and 3) everyone except syntace thinks it will work just fine.

:D

Are the grooves in the fronts (both)?

I have grown fond of this arrangement as most that have one in front, one in back create an oval shaped bar top...
