Great thread!
I've been very happy with my V-O purchases thus far, and feel they offer good value.

Grand Cru Seatpost - nice finish, easy to cinch down. It would be nice if the carrier (rail grips) spacing was a bit longer to put less strain on the saddle rails, but I haven't had any trouble thus far.

Porteur Handlebars. I like 'em. Nice finish, nice bend.

Elk hide grips. Tremendous value, and a complete kit. I ended up wrapping my bars with cotton tape to ensure good grip an to give a bit more grip diameter.

Porteur Rack. Very well made and beautiful. My only complaint is that the threaded bosses for the front bracket/fenders aren't drilled through, so the bolts will bottom out and require spacers/washers under the bolt heads. This is a minor quibble.
