I need about 3 feet of shift cable housing to finish the bike that’s currenty on the stand. I started with leftover Jagwire housing I had leftover from a previous build but I’m a few feet short.
Worls Class Bikes looks like they sell some but it’s out of stock and they don’t know when they’ll get any back in stock. Ans I really don’t want to buy a whole kit to just get cable.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried Amazon, good man?
Amazon, ebay, ali-express. A kit is just $10 last I checked (pre-trump tariffs though.)
If you haven’t googled this, you aren’t even trying.
eBay or Simworks x Nissen

I always buy the jag housings and they have tons of options.
try Velo Orange, they have specific brake and shift housing, they should have purple housing.
AliExpress.
Support your local bike shop and order through them.
Call around. The better shops will stock multiple colors and sell it to you by the foot.
Nissen from japan
Jagwire sells color sets. Purple shift is a bit of a stretch. I usually see it on bikes sold to 5-yr old girls.
Sim Works just released purple Crisper housing this week.

You can get that stuff from [aliexpress](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3rhBTuJ)
Just did a sick build that needed some purple parts, you also probably want some of [these.](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3wLdV8X)
I also got these sick [purple cranks](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3I4dMhd). Though i got them for half that price as an early bird special.
In aliexpress, you really want to use coins, coupons etc. you get massive discounts that way. The yearly big sale is on 11.11, so quite soon. If you intend on getting anything more valuable, wait for that.
Qbp stocks purple housing, but they will get like 50 sets to split between 4 warehouses. Any shop w a Q account can throw it on an order.
I just googled purple cable, housing bike, and came up with a shit ton of results
