ABSTRACT:
An internally supported cable system control for a bicycle that does not interfere with the steering mechanism and does not require the structural integrity of the bicycle frame to be compromised. In the disclosed internal cable system, the control cables are routed through a passageway in the gooseneck and the bicycle frame to the mechanism or device that they are designed to control. The gooseneck design is unique in that it allows for an unobstructed passageway for the cables to travel into the steering tube and frame, while allowing for both sliding forward and rearward as well as raising and lowering, as desired by the bicycle rider. For aesthetic reasons, a casing may be added to cover the cabling between the control levers and the gooseneck.
