Pretty sketch to sell it at all and I'm sure many sellers don't mention it isn't the same.
Probably the same stuff I had.

I generally like the Jagwire stuff I've had- there was this housing, and then I had a problem with a "Road Pro" cable kit not having enough housing to do an old bike.

I'll have to do a better job at looking around for the good stuff before I go on a buying spree again.
