    Yes! They are very nice, they look awesome, and there are loads of colours. Easy to install, and they function pretty well too!! I got mine off ebay , they were quite a bit cheaper than most places were selling them for!!

    Thanks for the review. What size frame you got? In the review, they mentioned it not long enough to do back break.

    What's the quality like? I'm looking for a gear and cable set for under £30.

    I bought a white racer kit of fleabay for about £20.

    Fitted to me bike with Ultegra 6700. Installation was easy considering it was me first time, and the cables made a fair difference in the shifting and braking.

    For £20 odd, they are really good value considering the quality of the cables and outers.

    I wouldn't bother with any other cables now.

    Excellent product.

    Ebay is best. I get mine from a German seller.

    He can sell extra outers etc separately if your frame needs them.

    I like them as well. As good as Shimano Dura-Ace or Campags' cables & housing. The brake cables/housing give a more firm feel IMO just as claimed by Jagwire. Cheaper and they give you some nice rubber grommets and frame protectors with the kit.
