What's your oldest ike part?
Can't really remember which is mine, it's either an 18 year old XT seat post or a set of Tioga Farmer Johns which I think are older and just keep getting transferred between bikes for pure lunacy in the mud.
Somebody's probably using something older, and frames will be any easy one.
And yes, it's friday, I'm bored and can't wait to go out tomorrow morning to get extra muddy after all this rain.

Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

Weren't things still being made from iron back then? Must be how its lasted so long!
If I had anything that age it'd unfortunately be far too small for me now. I did love that 3rd hand Grifter though!0 -

Excellent thread!
Mine's a red Specialized plastic bottle cage that I put on my Handjob for short rides when the Camelbak is dirty. Probably dates from 1989, but I haven't had it carbon dated.0 -

In my Dads' garage, a 1909 BSA tourer - sit up and beg handlebars, looks great fun! Its huge though!
One fine day in the middle of the night, two dead men got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other.0
