Near perfect bike parts

[gregl]

This saddle

+1. Actually, +5. I have one on every road/cross bike I own.
Also, the Shimano SPD-SL pedals in there various types. Especially the newer ones with a steel wear plate. As solid a road pedal as I have ever used.

Regards,
Greg

I went full circle from a Brooks B-17 to trying EVERYTHING and now back to a Brooks Swallow.

The perfect combination of comfort and good looks (beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, of course).

Your results will probably vary (it appears I have a very sensitive behind).

spoked wheels, pneumatic tires, diamond frames, and chain-and-cog drive systems are all pretty swell, too, as are air, water, and gravity.

Some of my items have already been listed, but you can never praise Nitto things enough, so:
- Nitto everything
- SON dynamo hubs
- Brooks B.17 Champion Special saddles
- Shimano bar end shifters
- Shimano aero brake levers
- Shimano XTR M900 cranksets
- Phil hubs
- Kool Stop salmon brake pads

[Saab2000]

OK

- Cateye computers. The small, simple ones. Not the ones that can calculate the orbit of the moon.


- King headsets
- Shimano threaded headsets
- Steel frames and forks
- Veloflex Criterium tubulars
- Ambrosio rims
- Campagnolo Nucleon tubular wheels
- Veloce 12-23 cassettes
- Zéfal HPx frame pumps
- Thomson stems and seatposts are near perfect, but not quite. The stem can't be had in 14 and the seatpost doesn't have enough setback.
