According to Strava I've done 36,235 miles on the current bike. I think I got it in October 2013. Its lasted better than it predecessor which had a frame failure after circa 25k miles and 3 years.
Originally most of the parts were transferred from the predecessor but the only original thing now is the frame and the original crankset and saddle are on another bike, its done just under 6k miles since it was built in Autumn 2014. The TT bike has done just over 2.5k miles in 1.5 years.

The bike did 41,000 miles untill it was succeeded last year. The replacement has done 5,000. The previous bike I'd stripped to the frame and I'll rebuild it when I get a chance. The commuter done 8000miles but it's not moved in a year :blush: I decided it was too good to leave in central Cambridge so I got a new commuter and in a year and half it's done 5,000 miles.

Inside my skull
Previous road bike reached 107,000 miles. Current road bike, about 7,000 miles. My mountain bike reached about 24,000 miles before the frame reached end of life. Recumbents are the babies, my latest is about 140 miles after its first week, as I build up the distance on it.
