Hello All

I have been in the process of renovating a 1990s steel racing bike for what feels like forever. I would like to get some yellow gear/ brake cable housing for it. I have a Campagnolo drivetrain, it appears Campagnolo don't do yellow, neither do Jagwire. Can anyone suggest something decent quality that I might be able to get in yellow? I know nothing about road bikes and don't even know if Shimano housing works with Campagnolo....

Thanks for any help.

Shimano housing will work fine - Campagnolo gear inners are fractionally small diameter.

Yeah, just use Shimano compatible stuff.
‘90s isn’t vintage by the way, just a bit old...

Thank you!

It appears Shimano 'Optislick' housings do come in yellow.

I will post a picture of the abomination once complete!
