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.
Sorry for the background

The logo on the BB shell belongs to Bridgestone:

It might just be the bottom bracket shell in the Bridgestone, but everything else..

have seen a Bridgestone logo on other frame bits in the past

it has made me wonder if the firm a supplier of frame bits as well as cycles

perchance one of our framebuilder members will know...

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?
