Campy housings were also lined within the CR timeframe, with Delrin, I think. My question is, does anyone recall when Record and SR brakesets started to come through with the lined housings? I bought a block-letter, post-CPSC, alloy-shoe-holder set around 1982, and the housings were lined. Other replacement housings that I bought after that (presumably made earlier) did not have any lining.
Anyone?

I seem to recall "Ultra-Glide" lined brake cables/housing being available by the late 70s, still within the time line.

Yes! Was it "Wescon Ultraglide"?
