I do confess that I had missed the red dice on the end of the brake crimps on the end of the brake cables on the auction of the pogliaghi on the website of the ebay on the laptop of my employer ( and there's a hole in the bottom of the sea ...)

As someone who just greased his rear brake cable last night, I have to say, that these are exceedingly rare. It's hard enough these days to find retro cable crimps... It's an order of magnitude harder to find crimpable red dice, and a dice-crimping tool to boot !! :-) :-)
