Brake Cable Housing
Any good source for YELLOW brake cable housing for my 70's bike. I'm looking for housing without any letters or marking of the maker stamped on the outside

Jagwire, but it has the logo. Good finding any quality housing that doesn't have a logo. You could probably remove it w/ lacquer thinner or some other solvent if you really felt like you had to.

I second Jagwire. The logo on it could probably be easily removed with a scouring pad.

I second the Porkchop BMX, online or eBay. The cables on this bike were sourced there, no labels and just as slick as anything from Shimano or Jagwire, which I have used on some of my other builds.
