I looked for the double for a while, but quit searching.
I strongly suspect mine wasn't the only one that broke! I still use the single cage mount unit seen above on a couple of different bikes and it seems to work okay. The dual mount had angled surfaces for the bottle cages, but the material wasn't significantly beefier than the single, and I think the weight of two bottles combined with some flexiness in use led eventually to metal failure. Mine sheered off horizontally just below the area where it widens out for the mounts over the bars, dropping the vertical bit that held the cages and everything in them.
