Yeah, but your bike isn't truly old until you have replaced not only that stuff but your frame too at least once or twice. Of course you are can still say you are riding the "same bike" as you had x years ago, even though you have replaced the: headset, wheels, tyres, handle bars, chain, brakes, frame, tape, seat, seatpost, cranks, pedals, etc....
