my 15" .243 frame was one of the first off the assembly line of first generation.

front mavic D321 rim is 3 years old.
WTB headset is 4 years old.
Shimano DX pedals have been beat to hell for 2 years and are still sweet.
Hope M-4 front brake - bought when the m-4 first came out 3 years ago and is still on the first set of pads and second bleed of oil. best brake ever IMO.

Sadly, the oldest part I own had to be replaced this year. It was a 1995 XT rear derailleur, The pivots just got so loose and sloppy it refused to stay on the proper cog. I replaced it with a new XT, I just hope it lasts as long as that one did.

My 1986 Norco Bigfoot is completely stock - even the tires. :eek:

nothing lasts for me. hell i snapped my frame 2 weeks after i got it. but that was my last bike and we won't get into how i snapped the frame. my bighit seems to be holding up much better, but man does this thing EAT tires. they were gone like in 2 months, still riding them cause i am poor.
