All time favorite component

Over the years I have bought and loved many components, bought and hated just as many but no component has ever maintained my loyalty as these babies:

Grafton brake levers, boy how I love the damn things.

What is your favorite component?

Although in hindsight I have purchased (and still do) many more Flite Ti rail saddles than anything else.

Oh yeah, I forgot this piece of mechanical beauty: One of the finest forks ever made.

Planet Bike Superflash!

edit: i just noticed this is in the mountain forum; I guess my favorite mountain component would be my Shimano XT rear derailleur. It takes a lickin' and keeps on clickin'.

Is that a PAUL? At one point I lusted for a PAUL rear derailleur but never ended up with one.

Get out!

Actually, I don't see why you can't post in here. I don't think it stated that you had to post your favorite MTB component, did it?
