Chainrings and cassette condition
These are Shimano 105s from early 2000s. Rides ok, except for some shifting issues which is expected of 20 year old components.
Just replaced the chain and wondering if there is enough life left in the chainrings and cassette.

If your new chain doesn't skip you are g to g. You can't tell by looking.

If it was my bike I wouldn't be worrying about those chain-rings or cassette yet. I would thoroughly clean them before putting the new chain on.

Non omnino gravis
There's less wear on that cassette than on one I installed in November of '19. As said before, if it's not skipping/ghost shifting, it's fine.
