Retrobike Touring.

Hi i use liner cable bit like the liner used for Klein Internal frame routing
for exposed cables on top tube .

2mm id pfte tubing is what i'd use, run it as close as you can to the bosses (so only 3-5mm exposed at each end) should be crush resistant enough with the load distributed over that sort of length!

With individual straps i'd probably use something like a short section of outer under the strap.

I'll be doing a bit of offroad bivvying next year due to some pretty major lifestyle changes, so if theres nothing else on, i'll be off.

I tried frame bags (on my identical P7) and gave up due to them rubbing feet etc - but a pannier rack fits well, and I have also run a Carradice saddlebag.

Good choice of solution. Also minimises dirt ingress etc.

Now go grind your crack.

Do any of you have any plans to travel somewhere hot over the winter months?

Off to sunny Spain after Christmas, have a friend who lives in the mountains inland from Barcelona: Miravet is also in that plan.
