Having procured a second Dura Ace 7700 TT chainring with no bike to put them on and no intention of selling them. I was wondering what bike components are considered the most beautiful to STW.

On an MTB front I’ve always loved the look of 9 speed X0 stuff (not my picture sadly).

M900 chainset.

I love the look of this.

Up close:

Pfft.

I present, the Manitou 2.

Ridiculously good looking.

For my taste Campag needs more polished metal.

My favourite bike still uses a full 10 speed campy record group with the polished carbon mix.

And shifts quicker than my bosses di2 modern bike

Don’t like the campy carbon chainsets though , full polished crank arms for me

Fizik seatposts

Forks. Cranks. Saddle. Grips.

As above, the Manitou 2.

I was deeply in love with that fork! 🙂

The Shorty Ultimate canti brakes are little works of art:

Would love a pair of their Black Ops levers:

I’m stuck in the past, as you can see…

A nice pair of bombers

I present, the Manitou 2

Love the name. Don’t mess with my mani toutou 🙂

And a Marzocchi triple crown fork.

And a Marzocchi triple crown fork.

Oh yeh, so there is!

King cage for me 🙂

The original Flite saddle. Perfect.

1st gen xtr

XTR M970’s
I’ve just bought two Brand new boxed sets for £150 each.
Ha..Ha..Ha..Ha….(evil laugh) 🙂

I’ve always liked spokes gleaming and flickering in the sunlight as they rotate. And a brass bell. Although a bell is more of an accessory.

These absolute blackbsprokets are really pleasing on the eye

definately think the retro stuff looks nicer. Middleburn cranks were pretty special.
