Looking for ideas...
I am currently rebuilding my red LeJeune and want some suggestions on cable housing color. Yeah, I know, no brainer...red. But therein is the problem. I cannot find a red that I like with the bike. I had purchased some cable years ago thinking I would use it, but it is more a ruby red and just does not look right. I got some more cable from Velo Orange...it looked prefect on the monitor, but it is just not right in real life. I should know better than to match a color based on a PC monitor. The reds I find have too much orange in them for my tastes. I have yet to find any gold cable housing and don't really know if I like the idea. What I am considering now is using some stainless cable. Anyone have any other ideas? Some color to contrast and if so, what color? Hit the link in my sig and go to the LeJeune folder if you need to see the frame for inspiration.
