Hi,
Down tube as in this picture: http://www.fatwheels.com/images/bikeframe.jpg
This is for a custom built cyclocross frame.

if you have a suitable cable stop then yes. if not then not really."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

cables are usually on top of top tube on cyclecross frame.
this is to minimize dirt stuffing up the gears
if I was going to design a crossframe I would put cables inside top tube.
this so I wound't change the gears when lifting bike0 -
Top tube routing requires a pulley behind the BB - all road f/mechs are bottom pull - the pulley is just a further collection point for mud so really defeats the purpose.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0
