Apparently the answer is yes, if you have access to a 3D printer.

Here's the page on the Printables.com website.

First sentence on that page: "Since there's no way to buy these any more from Cannondale, I made this."

It is for a Cannondale.
Thank you for your help

Most of your High Schoolrs have 3D printers in their Art/Engineering classes. Many young'uns are just waiting to print something useful, like a Cable Guide. It should be printed in Nylon or Polycarbonate. PLA wont hold up to the cold and heat.

That is a nice looking set, a lot of the reproductions look super janky
Edit: I never realized these had "guide pins" always assumed they were just adhesive.

Simple and sensible is not always Cannondale’s M.O.

I'd opt for Titanium but that's prolly junior college level or higher.

All we had in my shop classes were conventional wood- and metal-working machinery. Drawings got done with T-square, triangles, a scale and... pencils.
