Lou,
My McReynolds has the cable guides right on top. The touring frame that I had was made sometime in 1983 as I recall. When I converted the frame to S&S Couplers, I had Bilenky remove the original cable guides and add the stops for the cable splitters. I think Boone used Henry James lugs on his bikes.
