The main Di2 wire and rear brake housing go thru the stem then a slot in the steer tube then into the frame.
Like the update. Maybe mine is due for a freshen-up as well.
Out of curiosity, where are you putting the junction box? I think you previously mentioned you placed it under the saddle, correct?

How big is the hole on the front of the steering column ? Is it round or oval ?
My steering column was not drilled on the back of the steering column. I had it drilled by a carbon expert
But I think the hole on the front is too small. So my brake cable comes down from the top of the steering tube which isn't ideal.
BTW, I have tested this bike against a few others and I haven't found anything better yet.
The rear brake (along the portly mass) is the only quibble I have about the bike. One has to use a 7800 Dura Ace rear brake, and the routing really does make the braking rather subpar.
Also, the way you described is exactly how the rear brake housing is routed on my frame (pre-drilled). From the stem side, there's a forward opening in the steer tube, from which the Di2 wire and rear brake housing enters. Both the wire and the housing travels a slight distance downward, while within the steering tube, before exiting via a aftward opening in the steer tube. Real PITA to deal with when I need to do maintenance (which, thankfully is only about once every three years or so).
Also, surprised that an engineer for Argon rides a Scott ;)
