Haven't owned either of these, but I found them both particularly easy on the eyes. Photos courtesy of Michael Sweatman and his absolutely excellent Disraeli Gears website.

And for vintage Campagnolo RD fans (I never personally found those terribly attractive, but many do):

Yeah, I know - it's not Campagnolo. But Zeus effectively appears to have "cloned" Campagnolo products for many years.
For those interested in RDs and their history - vintage and otherwise - Sweatman's site is seriously worth a look. Just make sure you have some time available; it's easy to spend far more time perusing his site than you planned.

It’s hard to beat 50th Anniversary bits.

Shimano 600 Arabesque
What, no love for the Shimano Arabesque?
I know - not high end. But I think they're cool!
Would photo, but still building up to my 10 posts.
BTW - omitting to mention the gold anodized Mafac 2000's on the same bike as the Arabesques - really a bit gaudy for my tastes.
