Your braided hoses? erm...nice? 😉
My favourite part of my bike is me 🙂
The Cane Creek Double Barrel Air shock closely followed by the Reverb.
The bit that starts at the front and ends at the back.
(still in honeymoon period)
Reverb. Game changer.
It is a sum of parts that makes a bike and all contribute to make the bicycle you ride. But if I must pick one bit of kit it is my erm my no its just a bike.
CCDB - Just brilliant 🙂
Do you not have one part you look at and think sh!t that looks cool?
Ti deluxe the frame
Yeti ASR the mavic Slr wheels
Specialized Expert the electronic shifters
Frankly NODo you not have one part you look at and think sh!t that looks cool?
I quite like the self amalgamating tape on the chain stay on my Nicolai.
Actually scrap that. It's the welds. I love the welds.
On my Karate Monkey I like the Mango seat clamp 🙂

I like my hammered-to-bits XTR cranks... Just seems to say on the one hand, I like expensive lightweight parts, but on the other I expect them to earn their keep.
Bregante Orange Five?
Wolly. No, sorry I've edited my post now so yours makes no sense 🙂
Chris King parts.

Original square taper Raceface turbines held on with x-lite crank bolts
I'd love a Nicolai for the fish scale welds! why you'd want to paint such an awesome piece if engineering is beyond me
My regular bike is my New XT brakes and Kronolog
My Sunny day cruiser is the smooth welds of a 97'Dale
All of it, except the untrimmed brake hoses
Loving those bars Wolly 😛
I guess my favourite part is my orange seat - still as uncomfortable as **** but I love the look of it.
Although performance wise I'd have to say my u-turn Lyriks - two and a half years old and been on 21 different bikes during that time ranging from an oldschool early 2K Tazer FS to 7" travel Uzzi and everything in between - versatility at its best.
I like my wheels. They're lighter than virtually anything twice the price and they make the bike feel great.
Have a personal dislike of RF cranks recently but...Doths cap and applauds OM's efforts! A good job well done that man, stunning!! 8)
My fave bit?...Blackspire headset on the new SS 29er (cheers khani) 😉
I like my seat stays, they make the ride feel sooo good.
WI freewheel.

I like the view from the saddle. Down my arms, over the handlebars to the agricultural 2.5 Highroller at the end of the Lyriks. It makes me feel invincible.
My alfine, I like it so much I changed the frame to suit the hub
The ride and handling of my ASR5.
853 decal makes me warm(sad but true), its a great steel frame (niner mcr). Spesh phenom saddle, I know it fits for long days. I like XT.
KS Lev, I guess.
My hope rear hub
For some reason, this topic reminds me of this:

Dropouts on my Tomac probably. Beautifully CNC'd titanium, just gorgeous...
Each to thier own Ben! If you love Ti not Thai that's up to you :p
On one of them it's the bottle opener incorporated into the lower brake mount,

On another is my original 1994 TI Hope Rear Hub, still going strong after a conservative estimate of 70,000 miles use, just visible in this pic.[img]
[/img]
On another it's the carbon fibre mavic slr front hub
On another it's the overall "just right" look and stance of the bike - Charge Plug fixed
On another it's a set of original 1994 Middleburn square taper cranks taken off the same bike that runs the Hope Ti hub above that have done near enough the same mileage.
Bars. I hold on and make whooshing noises pretending to ride it.
My rohloff
WI freewheel, I just love the noise
