Cable Question
I hate to have to ask this question, but...
Does someone out there sell "colored" cable housings?
I have been looking around a bit, but I've only seen, Black, gray, white and those Nokon cables.
My wife's bike is an late 80's model and is therefore decorated in the colors of the day, pink and teal. She's needing some new cable housings and would prefer to stick to the theme of the bike, and go with pink housings. Has anyone got a lead on these?

Gasp! For the love of... say it ain't so Chip say it ain't so. Seriously I've got no idea. But it'll be interesting to see who does.

Can't find pink but branford bike carries Le Tour cable in these colors.
Le Tour Professional housing comes in a wide selection of colors to compliment your bicycle. Choose from: Shimano Gray, Pearlescent Silver, Royal Blue, Lemon Yellow, Fire Engine Red, Bright White or Gloss Black. The Shimano Gray color perfectly matches original Dura-Ace and XTR housing. Gloss Black matches Campagnolo black housing.

THIRD HAND / LOOSE SCREW used to carry colors. And call around to the LBS's, there was a fad for color and some shops still have it in the back somewhere.
I had the same requirement, moma's little Bianchi was a sweet raspberry color that she claimed just yelled for pink trim. Found cable casings and handlebar tape (tape is now a gray/pink color, but she's happy).
