Whats the smallest cool thing on your bike?

Browsing 'bay I found an RPB cable hanger. When I was a spotty school boy looking to pimp my Peugeot mtb I was severly limited to my pocket money.

I remember I bought a pair of these cable hangers and some red alu jockey wheels (a real upgrade for shimano Altus c20 mech!!)

As far as I was concerned these little beauties made my bike cool - and me cool by default!

Anyone else got a soft spot for a tiny piece of bike jewellery?

X LITE PIVOT BOLTS
always thought these were the coolest thing i could put on my bike
reason = the bolts were TI , they cost enough , they were RED , and you didn`t even need them .
so that must have made them / you cool

Solid gold

Now we're getting to the heart of it! It is all for show and has no benefit to performance whatsoever!

Stand up and be counted! We know there are more of you out there!

Seeing those X-Lite canti bolts rminded me of my gold Middleburn cable oilers on my gold '97 explosif - hardly used but so bling-tastic.

Yep, and they make rocking horse shite look common - I've only just managed to find a second set, and even then they're steel. Ah, I remember the days when Ricci Ltd were flogging them off for pennies in the pound....
