I have a bike with a crack in the frame. I think I will take the good components off, it has Sram Red 11 speed. I have some older Shimano.

I find this thread ridiculous in some ways. When I was young, I toured for many, many months on end. My bike saw nothing but rain, mud, and some Sun once in a while. It never set foot inside. I mess that old Dawes Super Galaxy. I do not think someone is a real cyclist until they have pushed themselves so hard that when they stop to refuel at a minimart that they pray someone steals their bike.
