What's Your Oldest Cycling Related Item?

[Herr-B]

A Kirtland seat pack, I must have bought it from Giles Cycles in Carterton in 1997/8 and it'd done a lot of offroad miles around oxon/wilts, found it in a box about a year ago and stuck it on my Carrera Subway. It now sits on my road bike, although the colours don't suit . The p*word repair kit in it worked better than the one I bought last year. Now it has co2 gear and another repair kit, and a rear light hanging off it.
