[kaiser]

Which components have reached classic status? Nominate one at a time. I'll go for



Flite titanium. original and alpes

 

[Harryburgundy]

Something very humble, very affordable and seldom seen. But for me...what more could you want from a bottom bracket.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the

UN7something XT BB

 

[orange71]

original shimano SPD - either the 747 or the DX one.

 

[Pip]

Marzocchi Z1 BAM (circa. 1997)

In my view the most influential suspension fork ever made. Looked brilliant, worked brilliant, bomb proof, and needed servicing about once every 2 years (and that was only oil, seals lasted 4-5 years no problem). Still see lots around, and they feel better than a lot of modern forks.

PS I know this is on the verge of what is looked at as modern on here, but I still think it is a worthy contender

 

[Pickle]

The Rock Shox Mag21 suspension fork.

Clean lines, distinctive colour, lusted after these for years.

 

[ededwards]

Flite is a great choice, will add Syncros stem (Cattleprod or Cattlehead but not hinged or recent) and original seatpost.

 

[losidan]

manitou dorado forks?

I;ve only seen one set and arnt the new ones going to be over £2k :shock:

 

[GearlessinSeattle]

White Selle Italia Turbo. It looked so good on a team Klein.

 

[Dr S]

Cooks Bros Dogbone style crank RS, RSR etc. Light, elegant and looks about right on just about anything made in the 90's

[dyna-ti]

Red M636 pedals
