My Google-fu is weak, or at least I hope it is.

I need to find some brake cable like this for a little cousin's bike, but I can only find USA stockists. Can anyone spot any without crazy postage costs and customs charges?

It's variously called 'lazer', 'cosmic', 'hologram' or prismatic. I know MCS and Peregrine used to make it back in the day, but I figure there must be some Chinese company knocking it out now....?

Woah there's some magic going on here. I pasted those links directly but some have prettified themselves. Nice.

Thanks @ossify, that metallic purple one might do. Glow in the dark is cool, but I don't think they'll be riding at night!
