XTR shifters

Also, Yetis & most Cannondales.
most Cannondales.
😯
tune cranks - no pic cos i'm at work
Finbar form over function......I had 2 of those cages and they wrecked bottles
[img] 
[/img]
although I hate bar-ends, it's gotta be these
[img] 
[/img]
The original U.S.E. seatpost. (can't find any pics).
i'm doing well, my klien has had or does currently have 4 of the posts on it so far 8)
ooh make that 5 thanks to the USE seatpost
haha but theres a massive issue with those x-lite bar-ends, they're glued between the clamp and bar, leading to them suddenly snapping off...
yes... just right...
+1 raceface turbines. 8)
XT 7 speed thumbies
Suntour XC thumbshifters
[img] 
[/img]
Suntour? Look more like Campag to me.

Shifters not brake levers. Pity Campag mtb stuff never took off. It was well built.

All other rotors look duff.

most Cannondales.
Cracknfails /commondales look right in a skip I suppose
[i]Pity Campag mtb stuff never took off. It was well built.[/i]
Yes, like Dawn French..
Hope XC hub looks nicer and more small-manufacturer-CNC than the more expensive but bland, cheap, moulded looking Pro IIs (and I have both...)
[img] 
[/img]
another vote for the King headset, always loved em, always looked "right"
[img] 
[/img]
And had Pauls Love levers on my Litespeed which again looked "right" (no these arent mine and I dont think its a litespeed...)
[img] 
[/img]
IMO...

and then;

[/img]
[img] 
[/img]
and, any Time pedal!
Someone post the Suntour XC Pro shifters. They always looked better than the XTs (and those were the ones I thought you meant Mcmoonter, sorry)
+1 for the Flite, I've got 4 of the buggers!
Old stuff for me too:
Syncros cattleprod stem and revolution tubular cranks
Pace RC30 rigid forks
Pace square tubed frames
Cook bros cranks...

CNCed goodness from yorkshires finest
Can't find a pic but I always loved my Giro Hammerhead SC skid lid, never found a better fitting lid.
It doesn't get any more stemmy than this
[img] 
[/img]
Pleasing to the eye and the wallet. No excess weight or overcomplicated machining just for the sake of saying "look- machining" like Hope etc, just simple and effective.
And of course
[img] 
[/img]
Think Salsa quick release clamps look better than Hope, if they just worked as well after a week that'd be great.
