Schwalbe tyres on everything including the Brompton. Interesting to see how much love there is for Schwalbe. Not without good reason, imo.
Brompton is another brand I'm loyal to - my current Brommie is due for replacement and I have no intention of considering any of the alternatives. (I'd like an Airnimal as well, but that's another matter.)
I have two Felt bikes, although that's not so much out of brand loyalty as that they were the two bikes that I thought best suited my needs from what was available at the time I bought them. I love them both though.

Schwalbe tyres. Raleigh bike.
I have a strange affinity for Shimano but I'm not sure why. As in faced with the need for a new drivetrain and with equally priced options, I'd likely opt for Shimano. I'd prefer Suntour, but hey-ho...

Brand loyalty is all too often frankly a load of old bollarks. Just look at VW.

I forgot the saddle!
Laugh ya all, but I have Aldi narrow saddles across all my bikes, plus a spare saddle just in case I buy another bike
The most comfy thing ever imo

Brake blocks- Kool Stop Salmon (currently on my 4 steel roadies)
Bartape always is and always will be Fizik
Has been Michelin tyres on roadies for about 5 years now, from Krylions, Pro Race 3's to current Pro Race 4's Service Course and Endurance models, but I'm convinced the latest incarnation of the last two are nowhere near as durable as they used to be, despite their claims, so I'm thinking of defecting to a new tyre supplier *gasp*

Another one for:
Schwalbe tyres
Charge/Madison flux saddles
AyUp lights and the fluff
Tubus racks
Not sure I'd call it loyalty. I know the Schwalbe range and understand what's what with their tyres (and they've generally been okay). Those saddle are cheap and my arse gets on with them, so they're a go-to. AyUp lights...well once you plump for one lighting system you're kinda stuck, but I wouldn't carry on with them unless they didn't do the job. Tubus racks are bombproof and I know they work...steel, so if the worst comes to the worst they can be bent back or fixed.
