Mine has to be without a doubt the Syntace P6 seatpost. It absorbs bumps so well I feel like I'm on a suspension post. I'm tempted to splurge on a hiflex now.

Conti GP 4000s tires. Mundane huh! Not really so much. The kind of thing I wish I had known about years earlier.

The wheels I had built up. DT Swiss RR465s laced to Ultegra hubs. Bomb-proof, and they absolutely saved me during a major test this past weekend at a dirt/gravel/road race.

A professional fit.
If I had to choose a component it would have to be a Specialized Romin 155 saddle. I no longer have problems with numbness caused by an uncomfortable saddle.

I'm echoing the Fit. I've got back issues from a previous sport, and made riding fun again.
An phyisical item would be a garmin. Soo much geekyness potential. I looooove numbers.
