Where Does one buy Colored Brake Cable?
I have an old Trek that I am restoring and it has the original red/maroon and black cables. These need to be replaced but my local Trek dealer was not helpful, other bike shops in the area don;t have it, and I could not find brake/derailer cable in different colors on the web - - unless I wanted to buy 50 feet of it.
Any suggestions?

There was a post a few days ago, someone looking for green coloured cables (do a search on "green cable"). This site was suggested:
https://www.velo-orange.com/caandho.html
and I believe you can buy by the foot.

loosescrews.com also has a pretty decent line up of colors. I'm tempted by some of that braided silver that velo-orange sells though!
