The 'How Many Different Manufacturers Parts Can You Get On One Bike' Challenge

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
I think I'm gonna win this:

Shi**no (9 speed) bar-end shifters & BB
SRAM (9 speed) cassette
Suntour XC9000 (7 speed with 9 speed jockeys) rear mech
Sachs (yes Sachs!) (8 speed) front mech
Stronglight triple (8 speed) cranks
Syncros, Stronglight, Sugino chainrings
KMC (9 speed) chain
Tektro cantilevers and Crosstop levers
DiaCompe cable hanger, Surly cable stop
Cane Creek brake levers
Ritchey headset
SON dynamo front hub
Halo Combat rear hub, Halo White Line rims
MKS (TIME A-tac clones) pedals

The eagle-eyed will have noticed that the Campagnolo brand is conspicuous by its absence. The simple fact is that I wouldn't want to sully the good name of Mr Campagnolo by affixing his esteemed parts to such a mongrel.
