Was wondering what retro mtb parts are still in production today in their original form? I'm not talking brand names or parts that have evolved, anniversary editions etc, but parts that have not changed since '97 or before and have been made since on a continuous basis, not just old stock.
Here's a tentative list, in alphabetical order. Not 100% sure on some of them. It would be nice to put a release date on these too!
Brooks saddles
Chris King headset (nothreadset is debatable, since they recently adopted the split ring wedge thing)
Koolstop brake pads
Nitto bits (?)
Oury grips
Paul components
Phil Wood hubs, bb
Shimano may be able to lay claim to a few chains, cassettes, cables
Spokes (DT/Sapim/Wheelsmith)
Sugino chainrings (?)
Sun rims (?)
Tange bbs, headsets (?)
Velocity rims
It's a depressingly short list. Any others?
