Some things in life bug me. Shimano and Campy barrel adjusters/ cable guides are a couple of those things.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a frame build...including Chorus shifters, Paul cantis, and TT cable routing. The final piece seems to be barrel adjusters. After looking at a few various sites, what I'm digging the most is this little number...

Is this one of the Dave Kirk barrel adjusters or is it a Sacha White version? This thing is badass. I've checked QBP, BTI, J&B, and a couple smaller distributors. I can't seem to find anything that looks even remotely similar. Thoughts, ideas?

Zank is using these.

Yup, I've got them on my Zank roadbike and I think they're a beautiful touch.

I like that braze-on in that picture? Who's the builder?

Contact some of the frame makers that frequent this forum, they may be able to send you to the source.

Those look like Dave Kirk's. Email him directly from his website.

Yup, Kirk is THE source for those, the rest of us get them from him...
