Well here is my two-twopenn'orth for what its worth. Quick release wheels, quick release brakes, Suntour derailleurs ease of changing and you can get the mech off without unriveting the chain and finally Grab-On foam for the bars. Whats yours?
Mick & all-
After having fought with cottered cranks when I was 10 years old, when I saw cotterless alloy cranks when I was 11, I thought that was GREAT! Made since to me, but I wondered how they got the taper into the arm so perfectly. The curse of having an industrial designer as a father.
I also wanted a Titanium framed Sting Ray when I was 9, but that is off topic. I did get to ask about it though, the fellow who could do it said sure, but the material would cost $500., This was in 1969.
