What are your best bits!

[spandex]

I have been looking at my new bike for a bit now and I was thinking what is the best looking bit on there? I think I have to say the cranks even though they would look better in Black but I think the lines just work.


So what is your best bit and why?

Rear Cassette for me, just love a nice clean sparkling one....

 

[Maz]

You guys should get out more (on your bikes).

 

[tyred]

An old fashioned taste maybe but I like nice shiny chrome handlebars.

 

[dellzeqq]

dura-ace brakes and rear mech. The curves are so sweet.

I do think that bicycles are beautiful in the classic Kantian sense - purposiveness without purpose. Except Cervelos. Which will always be plug ugly in a kind of Gasworks Gothic way.

My Hope mini brakes (old model now) on my luvverly titanium Global TH1.5 frame; they look so... engineered:

 

[Black Sheep]

the lugwork and cotted cranks

 

[betty swollocks]

The chainstays on my fixie: curved, slim and shapely like a fit woman's thighs

 

[Dayvo]

I like bright red frames!

 

[Fnaar]

my bright red frame (on my roadie)

...and your purple helmet, presumably.

but of course

My wheels - but that's just because I built them myself so have an almost paternal pride (until half the spokes come loose on the front one I made up a bit too 'impaired' late at night)
