Shoot, I am down to the one I am using, so I have no others to sell, and I was not the one who manufactured it. If you send me a private message, I am happy to share the maker’s contact info with you privately. I got super busy at work last year and lost the spare attention I was using to broker these bits.

Through a meandering google search, I found an Australian cycling forum thread in which someone machined a few copies (tributes) of the unicorn Suntour aero mount cable stops. I am planning to buy 5 or 6 and put them up for sale on the sales forum here at cost (which would be about $20-25 shipped to the continental US). Shipping from Australia is $18 regardless of quantity, so this would save a bit on shipping for all of us.
Would anyone here want one? Just trying to gauge interest prior to my purchase.
More info to come as I finalize my purchase, and I will post pics momentarily. These would be for 28.6mm round downtubes, but he has apparently created an aero tube version as well. Also, they are threaded to accept standard barrel adjusters, as pictured, but he also has a non-threaded version. All of the ones I am purchasing will be threaded and will fit 28.6mm downtubes.

Are any of these still available? I’d love to get my hands on one.

Boulder bike has a stash of Gipiemme aero mounts that can do the same thing. $20. Go check them out, the back stock will sell out quickly.

Wondering if there's any chance this supplier still makes theses or has the ability to. I have an aero mount bike and this looks like it would be the best option for my sti conversion if I could find one. I tried to send you a private message but I'm new to bike forums and I don't get that privilege until my post count is high enough I guess.

I wish I had better news, but it has been years since I was in touch with the person who made them. He was a hobbyist who was only planning to make a handful, so it’s entirely possible he hasn’t thought of these since. At this point, you’re better off striking up a relationship with a local machinist and working with that person. These did not turn out perfectly, and working with someone locally will allow you to tweak the design much more easily. I ended up sacrificing an extra set of Symmetric shifters to make a custom base, and that ended up working well.
