Cable Guides for the Teledyne

Bought these very cool Shimano Dura Ace cable guides at the Whittier Bicycle Swap Meet.  They turned out to be too small for the Teledyne (which uses larger than standard diameter tubes).  The guy I bought them from said I could get my money back if they don't fit (he's there every month), but I think I'm going to keep them.  They're very cool and probably pretty rare...


Doesn't fit.  The "nut" portion of the clamp has two flat sides.  The hope in the metal guide has matching shape so that the nut doesn't turn in the hole.  Nice attention to detail...






At the same swap meet, I bought a set of three of these cable housing guides.  They are marked "TEKTRO."  Went to their website (Taiwan based company) and they make & sell these currently.

Perfect fit on the Teledyne.  They have the vintage look also.
