How Old Are Your Bikes?

My two main roadies, 23 years old and 7 years old. Of course the 7 year old was a frame/fork warranty but I actually bought the bike as a Lemond back in 2005. So most of the components other than the wheels are from 2005. The Cannondale is 23 years old but I built the wheels back in 2010'ish. And replaced the original STI and derailleurs back in 2005'ish.

I can't see spending $5000 for a new Madone when mine works perfectly fine.  My 1998 Cannondale is still a joy to ride so why replace it?  Some of my friends get new bike every year or other year.. No thanks, doesn't make that much of a difference to me to swap bikes. My style is just ride my bike. No race so I don't need light wheels, lighter frames, blah blah blah! I just ride so my bikes are fine and well maintained. :D

2005 components, 2014 Madone Frame.
