Suntour Superbe / Cyclone cable housing (or outer casing if you prefer), hailing from Japan and in production from the 1970s to the 1980s. The perfect finishing touch for your vintage bike, but great for bikes of the non-vintage variety too!

If you're taking part in L'Eroica or any other vintage event, this is fully compliant - so rest assured, the pre-1987 police won't lock you up for having the wrong cable!

The housing has been checked over and graded as very good condition, but do take a good look at the detailed photos so you can see the cosmetic condition before you buy.

HELP SECTION

Housing Type - brake and gear cables have different specifications and are generally not interchangeable, although older bikes with non-index shifting often used brake housing instead of gear. We'd still recommend using the dedicated front or rear derailleur cable housings for non-index setups whenever possible.

Casing Width - the outside diameter of the housing. Brake cable housing is a little wider in diameter than gear, this is to accommodate the slightly thicker inner cables.

Ferrule Size - if ferrules are included, this measurement is of the outside diameter at the widest part
