Bikes: they change so much I'm tired of updating this
I’m going to open a cable shop.
I have no idea what I’m going to do with all these. I pulled out a bunch for personal use, but I’ll never use all these. Certainly not going to sell and ship individually.

I'm pretty well off on brake cables. Definitely would be interested in acquiring shifter cables though.

Got any positron cables in there? You could probably find a home for them in one of the Schwinn bike groups.

All I know is today's cables, . . . not so good.
They are skinny and slickly coated.
Not thick enough for our older campy bits.
Rode the Monster Cookie Century couple Sundays ago and had a cable slip past the halfway mark so finished the ride in one cog.
IDEA: Toss in a cable with every purchase.
2nd Idea: AUBURN. Vintage cables, 1 for $5, 3 for $10.
Prolly buy you a couple of beers!!
