The only things stock are the crank arms, seat post and clamp. It now has a riser bar and higher rise stem, hydro brakes, 1x9 gearing with the only chainring I had in a parts bin that fits the old crank, 1.5 slicks, a rear rack and fenders. I can't figure out how to post a photo but can only find one from a few years ago that shows the bike in profile.
I've got two other bikes that fall into the all-terrain-bike category that haven't been ridden in decades but I hope to one day get back on the bike path. My grandfather was a cyclist and did club races in the 30s and 40s and he and my grandmother cycle toured before the war. I have the bike that was custom made for her 4'11" height by their groomsman, Les Brooks in Manchester (no relation to the saddle maker) and my grandfather's chrome New Hudson that might be from 1948 if dating it by the Sturmey Archer hub is accurate. I used to ride his bike when I'd visit them in the mid 80s but the cracked tires haven't held air for a long time.
My mountain bike with the most kms is a Naked SS that was the first 29er Sam built in 2009. I don't ride it as much now but I can't see myself selling it. I've thought about trying it out with a drop bar just to mess around. A Naked long-tail electric cargo bike and Soma Double Cross (also commandeered by my daughter) round out the steel fleet.
