There was a time when purchasing a new or upgrading my main bike was a two birds, one stone deal...as it meant my second bike was being upgraded as well. I'm now left with an amazing steel hardail backup bike with great components (King headset, Middleburn cranks, Thomson stem, wide carbon bars, DT240 and Ringlé Abbah hubs, ...) that all trickled down from other bikes.
<span style="line-height: 1.15;">This is over now since pretty much nothing on my main bike fits this hardtail. The next step would be to upgrade the frame for something more modern, but very few parts would fit. </span>
