The derailleur cables down one side are because it was only designed around a rear derailleur only setup. The 2nd one on this bike is because there is a rear brake hanger connected to the mount for the cable stop adjuster. This shot shows it well. http://www.flickr.com/photos/olipop/8419516496/sizes/o/in/set-72157632621944748/ It is a pretty awesome solution. Another solution would have been a clamp on cable stop http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/ca6.htm which would have kept the cables seperate but the braze-on might have been exposed.
