Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like the only shift housing needed is the few inches from the chainstay to the derailer. Brake housing is a little more extensive. I guess this is where I get to be creative if I'm going to change the color scheme. I'm leaning on an orange frame and just black accessories (housings, saddle, tyres, grip tape) and then chrome whatever else is already that way (hopefully I can polish the old red overspray off my crank).
