Cable Housing
Where can you get the clear/gold-ish/silver-ish brake/shifter cable housing so commonly used by everyone in the 80s?

No problem, i used some on one of my bikes... i'd rate it as a 99.8% match to the original stuff... I want to get some more for my other 80's schwinn soon...

Got the clear cable housing kit from Porkshop recently. It looks like an exact match to the original cable housing that came with my 1984 Peugeot PSV. I will be getting more from them as the plastic inner lined clear covered housing is very hard to find these days. So much nicer looking on 80's C&V bikes than the opaque colored cable housings they sell these days!
