My primary commuter has served me through the past two winters and every bit of crappy weather in between... over an estimated 10,000 km I have topped up the tyres, lubed the chain, and this spring converted the drive over from the 3 speed IGH to an 18 speed derailleur drive when I retired it from winter duty.

I overhaul the serviceable bearings once a year, the cartridge bottom bracket went in well over 15,000 km ago and is still fine.

It is a 1988 Kuwahara Shasta that was a $750.00 bike 23 years ago, I bought it as a used frame and fork and built it up as a fixed gear for one winter, ran it as an IGH for two and the 18 speed set up has been performing flawlessly.

I have been running the pedals (Deore XT quills) on this bike and others for 5 years and overhauled them when I bought them used.

It is a well made bike and I have always used high quality parts... nothing has ever broken.
