Oh, would that you could! My '89 Brava came with Shimano SLR housing in celeste, but when I put the Technomic stem on it, they wouldn't reach :-(

I've tried a number of wholesale sources, but without success. Silca pumps in celeste are now only available in two sizes: too long and too short.

At least Cinelli still makes celeste cork tape!
