I'm looking for something to tidy the cables/hoses on my bike.

I've seen these sorts of things

but seem to remember seeing something more "structured" in the past - like a small coloured plastic or anodized ball which secured with a hex head bolt or the like. Am I going completely mad or can someone point me in the right direction?

I just use two interlinked small zip-ties.
works well, but not particularly posh looking!

That looks like exactly the thing i was thinking of. Thank you.

I have a thing about cable ties, they irritate me like finger nails on black boards or chewing on wool. I previously returned a fairly pricey ti frame because it didn't fit c clips and they told you to use cable ties for hose routing.
