The 1997 Cannondale F-1000 and the 1976 'Techniart' Bridgestone in my garage would like to know what that finite life is.
The Dale is a retired XC racer, and 3x week commuter. The Bridgestone did some touring BITD, a couple of audax events the last few year and is now retired to 'Townie/Path Bike' oh, and pulling the tag-along.
They're concerned that they don't have much time left. I weigh ~200# Should I scrap my bikes?
