A vintage Helly base layer
Some shimano shoes that are almost dead
A 1970's Dawes Tamdem
A 1970's Track bike
Son1 rides a 1998 Marin Mount Vision (1 year younger than himself)
Mine is an XTR M-952 chainset. IT's about 8 or 9 years old
A pair of Lusso thermal bib tights used for every winter since around 1990.
One of those Muddy Fox handlebar bags designed for the original twin stems which I've had since 1986 and now sits in my backpack to hold odds and ends.
Wot no DCDs?
or crud claws
Flite ti railed saddle c 1996 - do they still make them ?
San marco Rolls on the road bike c. 1992 but hardly usedvin recent years
My shopping/utiliy bike is a c1990 muddy fox hybrid which sees regular use
2002 xt shifter pods still going strong
I'm just about to retire the frame from my '99 Marin with it's lovely 'pingy' Columbus tubing. Would have kept it but need something a little tougher (and with discs on the back). Replacing it with a frame that kinda reminds me of my old Bonty...
Trelock D-Lock I've had since 1995. Sadly the bikes it kept safe over years of commuting in London and Glasgow have all been sold on. It's had about three squirts of WD40 in all that time and still works as well as it did the day I bought it. The most amazing thing about it is that I've never managed to lose the key for it.
Actually on the bike, mechanically speaking, the oldest thing still used on a regular basis are 2003 Hope Mini brakes, which still work perfectly well and still look better than all Hope's over-designed looking new stuff.
1998 Marin Pine Mountain frame & original LX V-brake levers are part of the commuter that is in daily use. Still got the old stem, somewhere.
I can hear the squeaking of all these old Marins in my nightmares
just bought an ancient XT V-brake ('95..?) from ebay for stopping duties on the thinglespeed..
fitted it today and it made me wonder why I ever changed to disk brakes..
awesome
M732 XT thumbshifters and mechs on my commuter hack, along with an original Crud Guard (the one with the upright supporting legs).
1995 Pace for me, made singlepeed and using RC36 forks. My Winteractive jacket has also had some use in the last few days, although I considered digging out my '97 Buffalo. i was then reminded the the Buffalo's thong strap is not best suited to out of condition 43 year old backsides.

I'm chafing just reading that sentence. Unfortunately I know *exactly* what you mean
