Function, da, Form, nyet?
Like many C&V items, definitely non-aero, and definitely, they work. They sure are ugly.
I wonder who made them?

cable stops for downtube braze ons/ I actually find they are quite nice looking, i hate the ones shimano makes, with that clicking piece on the right side instead of a threaded end. I have some other style to, maybe campagnolo, both sides threaded.

They look like what you would use on the downtube to convert DT shifters to..you know... the "B" word.

They do have a certain Iron Curtain Suprematist air about them. If you want to get rid of them, Robbie, I will gladly take them, and even send you a couple Shimano ones. I like odd stuff like that.

I agreed on the first view, and when I went back for a second peek (after everyone raved about them), I nearly lost my breakfast.
I'd only use them if I were in the middle of Mongolia and mine broke, and it was all that was available.

Flathead bolts might be safer in a prang.
I have an even minimaller one - it is fibreglass-filled resin. Came with a nice racer in the spares bag, it took quite a while to figure out what it was.

They are not the most attractive cable stops but then I am not very pickey about what I put on my bikes. I much prefer function and I would use them on my riders. There is no accounting for taste I guess.
