the allen keys of my set are not stamped "Modolo". they only have their size stamped on (btw, the smaller one is a 2.5mm... isn't that the same size the Campa Delta's require?) and look like any ordiary, blackened tool. the hex wrench got "Modolo intern. pat." on it and is obviously made from cheap, punched sheet metal painted black. What i think is a nice detail that the nipples of the cables have the Modolo "m" stamped on their side.

that person was right, for all i know. long "o's", not "oe"!
