Anyone know who sells bar end shifter mounts?
I posted this in the Triathalon forum but think I might do better here. I'm looking to move my shifters from the downtube up to some Scott/Lemond aero bars and was wondering if anybody makes a bar end shifter mount that is the same as the downtube braze ons. Something that will go in the end of the bar or just clamp on. I want to keep all the equipment I have with just having to buy new cables, housing and stops.

I don't think so. why not just pick up some new ones? a friend of mine just got some Dura-Ace bar ends for around 50 bucks; so they're pretty reasonably priced.

The whole bike is original Campy Athena with Synco II index shifters and I wanted to keep the whole package together.

I looked at those but I'm concerned the Campy Syncro II housing is a little larger then normal index/friction shift levers and might not fit but I'll write them and ask.

Those Rivendell bar end mounts are pretty much the ONLY way I've seen to get bar end shifters for reasonable dollars. And, that is if you already have a suitable set of down tube shifters, although it really isn't too difficult to scare up a pair cheap. Fleabay generally isn't a much better option than buying new. Buy carefully if you are looking at the Shimano bar ends. Only the more expensive set allows switching between friction and indexing.
I got really lucky, and scored a $30 set of Dura-Ace barends off of Craig's List the very day I was set to order the Rivendell parts.

Those of us who prefer non-indexed shifting have a great universal option in the old ratcheting SunTour barcons.
