My Bianchi I let my buddy use for a beer run and he wrecked it,causing a crack at the seat tube/top tube weld.What sucks is it was within a week after painting and rebuilding it.
And a close up of the paint....

that is a real bummer Boozy.
-A bridgstone road frame, a shimano 600/MA40 rear wheel and a shimano 600 derailleur. I didn't break it though, a pickup truck did.
-a pedal spindle
-a toeclip bolt
-a dura-ace 7700 bottom bracket (worst bottom bracket I've ever used or seen)
-1 spoke nipple (stupid alloy)
-couple tires

- 5600 miles on one bike (personal mileage record) - I got close to 5700 before New Years. That was counting since April when I built my IRO up.
- My personal speed record on a bike (39.5mph - on my fixed this time)
- 5 tyres.
- LS crank arm on a splined crank bike (el-cheapo Bianchi from the 70s/80s) that I ran fixed last winter. It didn't cope with the torque/stress much over 300 miles.
- A couple of tubes, most aren't "broken" but are in for repair - some did actually fail (valve breakage, etc.)
- Stainless steel brake cable, replaced with a teflon coated one.
- Set of MKS chain tensioners.
- I had to replace my chainring and cog, utlimately meaning I had to replace my rear wheel due to my old 3/32 17T cog being forcibly stuck on the hub.
- My heart. In a particularly spectacular way, yay!
Do pads count? I guess that's just wear 'n' tear.

Is that the Duplicolor Mirage Ice paint? I messed around with a few of their color-shifting sets. Pretty trick stuff!
Well, whatever it it is, it came out nice!

three eggbeater pedals... 2 in one race... and somehow a nice set of gloves ended up in the dryer... anyone have a 3 year old in need of some biking gloves?
buuuuut... i switched to ss in 2008 and have not broken a derailleur since... I'm also broke my record for the longest streak I've ever had without a flat... 6 months and counting with no flats on the commuter OR the mtb. (**knock on wood**)

Wow, I rode and raced all year, and all I broke was:
The silver dustcover on the front of an Ultegra left STI.
The spring on a 1990 600 aero front brake.

A pedal (cheap plastic "track pedal" that came with the bike, lasted about a week and a half)
Mangled my seat in a crash, but was pretty glad I took most of the damage and my bike was ok
A helmet from goin sideways over the bars (see above)
Not much else. I'm sure I ruined some part or other working on my bike without bothering to learn the correct way to do it but whatever it was escapes me right now.
