You can disable the border rules with „frame=off“.

\startsetups table:mystyle

  \setupTABLE            [frame=off]
  \setupTABLE[row][first][style=bold,background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]

\stopsetups

\bTABLE[setups=table:mystyle]
  \bTR
    \bTD Colheader 1 \eTD
    \bTD Colheader 2 \eTD
  \eTR
  \bTR
    \bTD cell 11 \eTD
    \bTD cell 11 \eTD
  \eTR
  \bTR
    \bTD cell 11 \eTD
    \bTD cell 11 \eTD
  \eTR
\eTABLE

or

\bTABLE[frame=off]
  \bTR[background=color,backgroundcolor=gray]
    \bTH Colheader 1 \eTH
    \bTH Colheader 2 \eTH
  \eTR
  \bTR
    \bTD cell 11 \eTD
    \bTD cell 11 \eTD
  \eTR
  \bTR
    \bTD cell 11 \eTD
    \bTD cell 11 \eTD
  \eTR
\eTABLE

Both are different method to write a table, \starttable/\stoptable is
older than \bTABLE/\eTABLE which use \framed for each table cell and
allows more fancy layouts but is slower than \starttable.
