I've had extremely positive experiences with a whole host of V-O items that have been named: leather bar tape, bottle cages, handlebars, bottom bracket, bells and bell mounts, fenders (all sorts of sizes and finishes), fender parts (it's terrific to be able to buy stays and hardware separately), alloy chainguard (as long as I use a 45t or bigger ring), toe-clip leathers, and likely something I'm forgetting. The few parts I've been less-than satisfied with are the old chromed-steel constructeur front rack (that tang to the brake bolt had a flimsy-looking weld and it was impossible to get the rack low over the front fender), the decaleurs never quite fit perfectly to the part that goes on the bag and the stem mount takes a lot of stack height, I found the Champagne bag to be too flimsy (even with added stiffeners), and a front wheel w/ PBP 700c rim and Novatech dynohub was the biggest disappointment. The hub's cones were overtightened, the cable supplied didn't fit the hubs connector particularly well (and customer service wasn't very helpful about that problem), and after just a couple of winter rides, the rim's braking surface is pitted. I'm actually running that wheel on one of my bikes, but I guess you get what you pay for on that one.
