Default I need a DOUBLE curved clamp-on cable guide

I need a double curved clamp-on cable guide that will fit a vintage bike with a standard size downtube. This cable guide will be at the bottom brake. Here's a link to something like I'm looking for but I sure don't want to pay that price.

Anyone seen something similar for a LOT less?

Cheers

Thanks Andrew.

I think I might try drilling out a the cable housing side (non drive) side on an extra Shimano one I have here and insert a metal noodle from a V-brake and see if that works. It's a lot cheaper than $40+ dollars for a guide and its shipping.

Cheers

In Rightpondia they seem a lot cheaper, e.g.

Its cheaper but it's the wrong type. I need one similar to the ones that Andrew posted links to. tat s it needs to have a curved inner cable guide on BOTH sides.

Cheers

Well if that suits your application, how about two bucks?

p.s. You can also run a bit of casing from that style stop
under the BB enough to guide the wire up between the chainstays.
