Cuda2K. Thats the stuff I was going to get but the derailleur cable is from a different source and doesn't look the same. I might just get it anyway. No poseur here I'm more fred than anything in fact if you saw my commuting getup you would never even think that

Only other option would have been to have it mis-matched.However, if you are going to run downtube shifters and the only derailleur housing you'll be using is on the rear derailleur loop I don't think it'll be too noticeable unlike with STI/Ergo setups.

[QUOTE=cuda2k;5843746]Another option that goes in the direction of the clear / gray options but with a little more bling:
Braided SILVER:
Oh yeah, the braided housing would look killer on a pearlescent orange frame.
SHUCKS....I may even get some of that stuff for my bike.

Cuda now that you mention that I am running downtube shifters and I have a springy housing on the RD so I'm just going to need the brake cable. Problem is solved (DUH) I knew after sounding you all out the lights would go on

Dang wouldn't you know it. I was ordering the brake cable housing from Velo Orange and they are out of stock right now so I'm going to contact them and see when they will be getting them back in stock. Crud, I guess I'll run the grey Schwinn cables/housing and then after I get this bike powdercoated hopefully they will be in stock by that time
