[Closed] Virus escarpe dropper routing

Can any escarpe owner give me a tip on routing an internal dropper? Had a look and I'm completely lost. Don't see where cables go around the shock area?

I can lose the front mech but that's routed along the underside of the top tube so I've no idea how that would work and assume that can't be the right way.

Sorry in advance. Hopefully an easy question. Chain reaction phone line closed.

Goes down the underside of the downtube and into the frame through a hole beneath the plastic guard.

It then re-emerges out by the bottom shock mount, and you route it up into the seat tube.

Will take a photo just now.

On the side that the cable routes there is also two small holes to run a small zip tie in place to hold the cable to the side of the frame to avoid it fouling on the shock lower shaft. The routing works really well.
