wow, thanks
they just didn't make 70-90s frames with internal wiring
That's the problem
When you say ‘they’ (didn’t manufacture with internal routing) do you mean the brand you think this was made for?
Top tube routing was a thing as far back as the 1950’s :)

I want to find at least one frame with internal wiring like mine.

It seems that Bridgestone built also frames for quite a few other brands than their own, and their specifications may well have differed, including the use of internal cable routing.

Brands that are suggested by T-Mar's Asian Serial Number Guide are:

- C. Itoh (Japan)
- International (the Canadian brand, not the Japanese one)
- Itoh (USA)
- Jet
- Kabuki (Japan, USA)
- Kobe (USA)
- Schwinn (USA)
- Skyway (Japan)
- Supercycle (Canada)

Perhaps @dihummer has some additional insights?

in about '83-'84 saw in person a NOS made in Japan Bianchi fork whose steerer carried a Bridgestone symbol

recall wondering at the time if it was Bridgestone manufactured or if it may have been a steerer contracted for by Bridgestone which ended up with another maker...
