Vintage Shimano 105 1050 group derailleur cables
I have a 1987 Cannondale SR 500 with the old 1050 Simano 105 Groupset. I need to replace the rear derailleur cable as it is fraying and will break soon. What cable do I need to buy and where can I get it? Thanks!!!

You might consider replacing all the cables on the bike at the same time, and also the cable housing, if it's all original to the bike (36 years old). Jagwire is the way to go.

It sat for a few decades then i resurrected it and ride almost every day now, but thanks for the comments! Yes, I need a new bike just for the gearing. Lol.
