Title: Dia Compe Orange
Post by: McQUEEN on September 16, 2015, 07:47 PM

Does anyone know if DC made brake cables with orange outers back in 84/85?

Not sure but have been checking old adverts, pictures of Neil Ruffell and Curb Dogs and they all have white or red cable outers ..
Will have a look for Vincent pictures ( Paul Hudson ) cos his white bike with orange tuffs may have had them on ?

cheers - i'm choosing cable colours and I fancy matching some orange z rims I just scored...I've read through every advert in Freestylin for 84 / 85, couldn't find a thing but was sure I'd seen some somewhere!

I've never seen orange DC cables either. Shimano or Weinmann never did them but I know Terry done all different colour cables though  :)

All the Paul Hudson and Vibcent pics only show white cables too "nono"
