The first time I did this, I ran the wire (Schmidt coax from Peter
White) down the downtube, around the bottom bracket, and inside the
fender to the taillight.  In theory, a quick-disconnect at the bottom
bracket allowed for disassembling the bike without disturbing the
wiring; in practice, the disconnect is a source of electrical
failures.

On the bike I'm assembling now, the wire runs inside the downtube,
inside the bottom bracket shell, inside the left chainstay, and then
out and up the fender stay to the taillight.  This way, the bike can
be disassembled without messing with disconnects: the wire stays with
the frame.  The wire could go outside the tubes, of course; my frame
happens to be drilled for the internal routing.
