I would like to benefit from the latest housing and cable technology for brakes. Of course the braze ons are 1970's road bike vintage. What size cable and housing do I buy? I hear good things about how this improves braking performance.

I would recommend NOS 1.8 mm first-generation Campagnolo cablesets. Grease well, then serve at room temperature for best results. :-) Greg Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
