Dropper hose routing

davecara

Ive bought a 2013 Jekyll frame, wanting to reinstate a reverb dropper into it as per OE.
I cant for the life of me figure out where the hose would route though. Any ideas?

Back in 2013 stealth droppers were the exception, they were mostly external and the levers fitted in wacky places due to the lack of 1x drive trains.
This article has a pic of the Jeckyl. I think the lever is on top of the right side handle bar,hose runs under the top tube.

Then again, theres a remote for the shock aswell. messy

Turns out it does have external routing, I wrongly assumed they were all internal.
Thanks for digging that out for me!
Maybe I should stick to tarmac and lycra

Thats why I wanted to stick with reverb primarily, the bars end up cluttered with loads of levers otherwise
