Think GW epitomises the Triggers Broom bike the best so far...
And the frame in question CHB is a Genesis Altitude, not a Rock Lobster.
EDIT: Not bad bigyinn, not bad, but you've got one original component though!

"Trigger's Broom" bikes... Have you got one?

I ride a pace rc405 with disc brakes that started life in 99 as a v-braked kona muni-mula. Had to buy new bb/cranks/seatpost/front mech when I built it up due to different tube diameters and a year or so ago I replaced the comfortable but knackered saddle. Only part from the original build left are the pedals (which I guess disqualifies me??) but I have to say, for a 100mm forked hard tail with a long stem and narrow bars it descends like a dream

My current hardtail has had 3 different forks, 3 different sets of brakes, 2 frames, various seatposts/stems/bars, about 4 crankset/bb/ring combinations, 2 saddles, 3 pairs of pedals and 8 wheels.
The only thing remaining from the original build is the front mech.

This is my '03 Epic, originally bought as a complete bike:
The only original bits left are the frame, shock, front mech (an LX one that just won't die) and headset. Everything else has been changed, in some cases (like forks and wheels) multiple times. It's been this spec for a couple of years now though, although I've got a set of 90mm Floats I might try on it.A few of my other component sets have moved from frame to frame (e.g. most of the bits on my S-Works Enduro were originally on my Soul) as well.

Kind of - went through an Inbred then two variants of PA, swapping bits along the way. I think the Deore mechs and shifters are the only original bits left now, they've refused to die so that I can justify nicer ones.

This was an 01 Haro extreem
Got the spot frame when the LBS owner brought it back from interbike when they were launched, and swapped the bits from the haro onto the spot, then six forks, three wheelsets, four brakesets, four stems, three bars,new shifters,new mechs,four seatposts, a seatclamp and three saddles later it looks like this
I still love it as much as the day I got it

Brand New GT STS, up-graded and parts replaced as and when, bits swapped to brand new Turner 5spot frame which has had bits replaced as and when it needed it. I guess its v3.0 I'm on.
However no plans to change the turner frame any time soon!Posted 1 year ago # -
I had a 1991 Clockwork which still is a 1991 Clockwork, but probably isn't the same 1991 Clockwork. The first frame died about 2003 and I made a concerted effort to find another, albeit a different colour. I would say the current oldest component is a set of Pace RC30 forks from about 1994.
