How many of them are left ?

I got to thinking on my Main Mt bike, My Specialiazed Stumpjumper Pro, the only Original parts I have left are

Both Brake Calipers .
the Right Brake lever
the Left shifter Pod.
The stem.

thats It!!! Every thing else has been replaced at least once , Including the frame. and these are all parts that were replaced because they Had to be replaced.

 

[Streamline]

Road bike : saddle, stem, bar tape, bar ends, tires and pedals
Hard tail mtb : grips, stem, saddle, brakes and front derailleur
XC Fully : everything but the front triangle (built from the ground up)
DH Fully : rear cassette, saddle, rear derailleur, shifters, grips and pedals

All the bikes have had chain, cable and housing changed of course.

I just realize again that I have spent to much money on my bikes.

The only bike I have that still has stock parts is my Kink Apex. Its 1 of 2 complete bikes I've ever bought (and the other was just retired, before that it had the original seatpost and binder, but that's it). All my other bikes were built up custom.

 

[stinkyboy]

Everything was upgraded except the front derailleur on my old Stinky.

 

[loco-gringo]

My Stumpy Expert is the only "stock" bike I have and it's got the frame, bars, fork, stem, crank and shift bits on it.

Brakes were warranted and riding Easton Havoc wheels on it.

My Monocog Flight is only the frame.

Road bikes were all built to order.

 

[nelsonjm]

On my rigid and too small for me gary fisher everything is original except hub bearings, tires, brakepads, and grips.

On the BB7 only the fork and rear shock are original

 

[ire]

I actually have a bike that is very close to stock...the only thing I swapped on my Addict CX was the cranks. The rest of the bikes were built from the frame up

 

[I Are Baboon]

I bought my RFX used. It was a complete bike. I have replaced everything except the headset, fork, shock and brakes.

 

[HAB]

I built all my bikes from a frame up. Even still, on my main bike, the following are part of the original build:

-frame
-seatpost
-grips
-headset

 

[CBJ]

On the DH bike which see the most use: E13 chainguide, Thomson seat post, Easton handlebar and DT Swiss rear hub are all from the original 2005 build. Some stuff was worn-out other things outdated.

 

[Wumpus]

I've only bought two complete bikes -- a MTB in 1989 and a roadie in 1993. I still have some parts laying around from them but not in use. My oldest part still in use is my BREW frame from 1999.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Hmmm... I've replaced the pedals and a derailleur hanger. Oh, and several tires. And some grips. Everything else is original.

 

[DirtyMike]

On the roadie

New wheels, cranks, derailers, bar tape of coarse and seat. All melse original.

On the Blindside, I finally replaced my oldest bike part I had a week and a half ago.......The grips, My Odi rogue's were all but worn through on the top side, almost nine years before I actually replaced them. Put them on the ol' KHS rage back in the day the day I picked it up, those were the oldest part I had left that has gone from bike to bike as I have built them up since. The only part from the KHS I now have still is the Iron cross valve caps.

 

[TN]

same seat post, bars, cranks, wheelset & BB (that needs replacing).
everything else has been upgraded-swapped out.

 

[Potroast88]

I replace the valve caps on all of my bikes.

 

[DirtyMike]

But those trik top caps are soo expensive

 

[Leppah]

My trail bike has the same SRAM shifters and derailleurs (x-7) from 6 years ago.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

My commuter is the only complete OEM bike I've bought recently.

Original parts after 14k:
- Front wheel (haven't trued it or replaced the bearings...ever....thing is bombproof)
- Brake calipers, brake cables, housing
- Headset (starting to go...)
- Bars
- Stem
- Hoods & Levers

 

[splat]

I bought my RFX used. It was a complete bike. MBC has replaced everything except the headset, fork, shock and brakes.

Fixed

 

[jimmydean]

My bike is just how I built it 3 months ago. It's holding up well.

 

[Riding]

The four bikes I have built right now were components either swapped from another bike or built up on the new frame. The bullit I built in 05 has all the same components except, front fork, seat, tires, and drivetrain(cassette, chain, rings, and derailler(RIP SB))

 

[I Are Baboon]

Fixed

Not true. I changed the tires myself.

 

[Potroast88]

But those trik top caps are soo expensive

You can't put a price on performance.

 

[Quo Fan]

Of all the bikes I have, I have only bought 2 as complete bikes. My Gary Fisher Cake still has the original frame, rear shock, seat post, stem, handlebar, brakes, shifters and front derailer. My road bike is still stock except for saddle, pedals and bar tape.

All my other bikes I built from parts, mostly sourced new.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Impossible to answer, really. An '01 Raleigh M8000 became a Joker, which became a Heckler, with fork and brake and wheel changes, headsets, ya-da-ya, still running with a few parts from the original bike. Frame changes were driven by breakage.

 

[Salami]

How many of them are left ?

What are the qualifications? Are you referring to a bike bought as a complete such as what is in your first post? Or the parts bought with any bike including custom builds?

I have never bought a MTB of the shelf, only frame up builds. My first MTB from 1991 was a custom build. It has all of the parts I originally built it with except for the tires and grips. The tires I still have and the grips where replaced with the same ones.

All of my other bikes have had countless part swaps until the bike morphs into something completely different.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

1998 XTR rear derailleur, just finished paying it off last week.

 

[Bicyclist]

DH bike: Everything (built from frame)

Previous FR bike: Everything (built from frame)

DH bike before that: Nothing but the cranks/BB

I learned my lesson pretty quickly as far as building a bike right the first time.

 

[loco-gringo]

Hmmm... I've replaced the pedals and a derailleur hanger. Oh, and several tires. And some grips. Everything else is original.

They put Psylos on NRSs???

 

[JohnE]

Unit...only the crank, top cap and rear reflector (Yes, reflector...I ride in the ealry a.m alot...) remain.

Trek 8000...nothing. Repeat, nothing. But thats cause I bought the frame on Ebay for $30...

M4...wheels, fork, seat and post, crank and rear cluster. Chain too...do we count that?

 

[TreeSaw]

Just the normal wear/tear items on my Yeti ASX, 575, Orbea D'Ella, and Trek Road Bike. I built the D'ella from a frame and bought the other 3 complete. My Zion SS has had a fork change and occassionally has gears; My Cowan isn't finished yet but was bought as a frame.

 

[Prettym1k3]

My current bikes I bought as frames and moved lots of parts over, so right now? Nothing.

 

[Total Heckler]

My current bikes I bought as frames and moved lots of parts over, so right now? Nothing.

Ditto on my DH.
