What's Still Original on Your Bikes?

[velomaniac]

Only me, everything else is a parts bin assembly, original bike long since consigned to history.

This questions like the one about the spade, 5 new handles and two blades in its life but its still a great spade I've had since new

The crank dustcaps, the rim tapes, and - amazingly - the entire front wheel:

The paint job

the under-bb cable guide and the paint....

My 91 Muirwoods is pretty much original apart from the rear mech, chainset, saddle grips and pedals.

Even the original Marin amberwalls are still on

Dyna- Tech Mission, everything except the tyres and brake blocks. (just about to change the seat and grips though!!)

Dyna- Tech encounter, Everything except stem,seatpost and grips. (wanted some bling!)

Saracen Kili-pro, everything except forks,saddle and stem.

Most of them: Nothing at all, except paint.

Except on 1 bike - the Humu cruiser.
I have messed about with the setup many times over the years, but it's now back to ALL stock, except for: Grips; Brake cable inners (maybe?); The original tires are also ready for the bin, but still on the bike at the moment.

It has been used as a flat-route commuter over the course of 10 years, but nothing ever seems to break or wear out.... yet.

Based on that record, I guess it qualifies as a keeper

Nothing, every single part of my 92 Clockwork has now been replaced.

Just realised as I went to water the broadbeans, the original pedals and Saracen toe clips are back on it too!
