WTB Suntour DT Cable Stop
Let me know if this is a little too trivial a request for this Forum but I need a Suntour downtube cable stop for a 1984 Fuji rebuild (I took the original one for another frame build). I can't believe people on Ebay want around $15+... Or if there's a another source someone knows of - doesn't HAVE to be Suntour. I did see a modern brand for $10 on ebay.
If anyone can part with one cheap cheap cheap thanks a bunch.

They are used on the junk stem shifter bikes. When I asked at the local co-op they gave me a screwdriver and cable cutter and pointed me at the junk bikes outside the back door. No Charge.
I'd expect a LBS to have a bunch in a box.

That was also used as a DT cable stop for bikes with SunTour bar-end shifters, and therefore are NOT junk. I need a couple more of those myself for the bikes I picked up this year and am converting to barcons. and also looking for a couple sets of the original thin bare stainless shift cable housings!!!!

Yep, that was exactly the reason I was looking for one. Figured they would be hard to find, hadn't thought about them being used for stem shifters.

I'm trying to find/figure out/learn the best way to hid both the aero brake- and barcon shift cables under the bar wrap. Tough to do on a taller frame. If the original bar-end shift housings have been cut or shortened, it is near impossible. My Univega Viva Sport project is on hold because the (used) barcon housings had been cut, so I need longer ones. I do see someone has several NOS sets of 'Campy' barcon bare housing on eBay, but of course expen$ive. Now I want to do the same for my newest acquisitions - the Univega Gran Tourismo and the Miyata 710. All it takes is money...
