VITUS DEPOSE double under-bottom bracket cable guide vintage bike eroica

The VITUS DEPOSE name stamped into a small plastic part resolves a very specific routing problem on classic frames: keeping two cables in place where they pass beneath the bottom bracket shell. This guide is the double version, so it handles both gear and brake lines simultaneously. Country of origin is France, which makes it a natural match for French vintage bicycles but by no means limited to them.

Precise routing under the shell

The guide sits where cable tension and frame clearance meet. A fixed plastic body means no rattling, no corrosion from steel-on-steel contact, and no separate clamp required when the frame already has the correct provision. The material here is Plastique, which is light and will not abrade the cables as they slide through. The manufacturer part number is 0000.

Because this is a used component, the photographs are the factual record of what you receive. The plastic may carry faint marks from decades of use, but no major defect is noted on this example. It is the kind of small detail that disappears visually once the cables are run and the bike is built up.

For the full drivetrain loop, the Mavic 600 RD Vintage Bottom Bracket sits in the same zone under the frame. If you are still sorting out the cockpit, the BF vintage drop handlebars offer a period-correct bar to route those cables toward.
