More gold bling for my Boardwalk TT! This time I re-installed the Ultegra RD with gold bling, which was previously on my bike before I experimented with using the SRAM shifting system.
Unique Ultegra 6700 RD Short Cage, Gold Version, possibly the only one in the world?
The gold parts on this Ultegra RD are:
1) B-Axle (the bolt that fixes to the RD hanger)
2) Cable fixing bolt
3) Tension and guide pulleys
4) Pulley bolt
By the way, these are very nice Token pulleys with sealed bearings, which run very very smoothly compared to the usual pulleys. However, because they are made of metal instead of plastic, they tend to be noisier in certain gears.

New picture of the gold Ultegra RD! Difference from previous installation is the wheelset, cassette and the cable housing.

Another gold bling I got for my bike are these nice brake pad holders for caliper brakes! I had previously got gold brake pad holders from Taiwan, but those were for V-brakes. I happened to come across these at a local bike shop, and I simply had to get it!
