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).

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

The Shorty Ultimate canti brakes are little works of art:

Would love a pair of their Black Ops levers:

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.

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