Gear you can't give up?

I have a pair of Look MTB pedals I've used for 10 or more years, and have
used with four bikes. They're old, scratched and beaten to hell, but I love
them and I'll use them forever. They don't match my new bike at all, but
they're my favorites. I have 6 pair of cleats, since the pedal is
discontinued, so I should be set until I die. :-) Anybody else have anything
to which they've become so attached?

SunTour New Winner freewheels and their cogs. I've got them on four
bikes, at least. Someone gave (!) me a well-stocked sprocket board
once, and I keep replacing cogs as they wear. I dread the day when I
can't find my favorite cog sizes.

Yeah, they're only good for friction shifting. Small price to pay. ;-)
