What bike kit / bikes have you bought this year that you enjoy the most?

These 3 components are my faves - for both function and form:

Richey brake levers (bought on here from @Tootyred ) - so nice to use, and a good weight saving over Shimano.

Panaracer SimWorks 'The Homage' 1.95 inch tyres. Perfect for the terrain I ride. I love the tan wall.

Kona seat clamp to replace the cumbersome 1992 model quick release on my Explosif. Looks so much better and saves about 8 kg (!!). Thankyou @Spanky22b for this.

Some really sexy road wheels, I love deep section rims and miss the campagnolo shamals from many moons ago so when a set of Rigida with some super smooth Mavic hubs came up cheap I simply couldn't refuse

Wtf I'm going to use them with is an entirely different question

Mtb has been a bit quiet, @Siish swapped parts so I ended up with some excellent XT thumbies to go with the levers and brakes I already have and most recently was so amazing karma from @Alison in the form of some Hope skewers
