I have a Karrimor Elite saddlebag, from circa 1998 on a 2015 Spesh Diverge.

So, roughly 17 years between them.

not quite bike kit but I still use a Pace thermal jersey from 1994 and a Camelback sweatband from 1991!

My left hand XT shifter is 13 years old and the right hand one is brand new.

I had a 2010 kiddy seat on my 1992 Dyna Tech frame. Which I think puts me in the lead by 1 year!

I'm still using the stem, bars and brake levers from a commuter purchased in 2001, and ridden 160km / week. Original frame and forks have both failed. I keep wondering whether I should replace the levers, or at least the bolt that holds them to the bars, but stinginess holds me back. Edit: Forgot to say that current frame is a 2014 Pompino.

Karrimor saddlebag here as well. Used on my 1st tour in 1977, used again last year on a 2014 Ogre, sturdy enough for some offroad sections of the HTR550 route too.

1977 to 2014? We may have a winner!

Can't beat Pickers but could make the podium with a 1997 No Fear shirt and a 3 day old YT Capra.

1990 XT seatpost on 2015 Vaya. 1989 Suntour cranks previously on same.

1990 Ritchey cranks on 2009 Big Kahuna.

8s 105 mech on same.

1993 xt spds on 2014 On One fatty.

Barelli carbon drop bars on mid 80s Nigel Dean road bike.

I'd ask what do I win but epicyclo's not been here yet.

EDIT I clearly have not won but I reckon epicyclo will tho it may be there reverse.

1998 Serfas pump, can't remember the model but I bought it because I was 15 and MBUK told me too.

Not small or light, but it's excellent as a pump. On a trailAddiction trip, even the guide used it because it was better than his!

Mark 1 Campag Super Record rear mech
http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=730A5EB4-32A7-467E-B519-70AC5DAB88B6&Enum=108&AbsPos=78
on my 2014 Pickenflick with 8 speed Record ergos from 92. Just til the new mech gets here though.
Did happily run a 50's Campag matchbox front mech on the 2011 Cootic X for a while. Just because I could. My 1980 jersey and 82 wool tights are still regular winter kit.
Planning on putting my new in 81 sprint wheels, Record/GP4 in a new TT frame.

I'm sure my dads 1905 Dursley has got some tyres from the later half of last century on it
