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?
