Thanks to all who contributed on and off list with their suggestions for the best bike parts ever. I've drawn up a parts specification based on the comments I've received.

Bars: SR Road Champion

Stem: SR Royal

Seatpost: SR Royal

Wheels: Suntour Superbe Pro hubs/ Mavic SSC rims

Gears: Suntour Cyclone derailleurs/Simplex retrofriction shifters

Cranks: Dura Ace

Pedals: Suntour Superbe Pro

Saddle: Brooks Team Pro

Brakes: Shimano 105

I doubt that this is the definitive list. Any other suggestions? >>

Well, allow me to propose an alternate set of hubs... cannot speak for their functionality or durability, but for sheer beauty I don't believe I've ever seen anything to compare to the C-Record high flange "Sheriff's Star" hubs... perhaps the nicest-looking component Campy ever produced.
