Anybody seen downtube clamp for bike with now braze-ons?
I've been looking around for this, but haven't found one. I have a sweet lugged frame that I am outfitting with barcons. Problem is the bike doesn't have any braze-ons on the downtube. Simple enough, I know they make clamp on downtube cable stops. However, this is what I'm looking for. I want a clamp on device that will take the downtube cable adjusters that came with the barcons (so essentially creating the same things as if the bike had the braze-ons). They are Ultegra 8spd barcons. Links would be nice.

Check these out:
Although personally, I think the stamped-steel clamps look neater (the clamp-bolt is underneath out of sight):
If you want to use the barrel-adjusters, then you'd need the clamp-ons that have shifter-bosses, not just cable-stops.

So my question is: does any one make/sell a clamp on with just the shifter bosses on it? I can't find one anywhere.

I don't recall seeing anything like that. It's not needed on the right side because the RD has a barrel adjuster, but it might be nice to have an adjuster for the front.
Barcons are Suntour. Every other brand is bar end shifters.

You don't need downtube cable adjusters, just a clamp that will hold the cable ends. The front derailleur is friction with barcons so no adjuster is needed and the rear derailleur has a cable adjustment barrel already on it.
