After getting a few 25th Anniversary pieces (brake calipers and rear derailleur), I'm starting to think that variation on the group is the absolute pinnacle of aluminum components. The high polishing, coupled with the white lettering, is simply stunning.

Yeah, the high polishing finish of 25th anniversary set is the pinnacle of alu bike parts, indeed.
I'm afraid the bike parts makers, Shimano and Campy, will
never make parts like that.
It takes
too much time and money.
Next year, 2023, is the 50th anniversary of Dura Ace,
how will Shimano celebrate Dura Ace?
Will they start the polishing buff machine again?
