I'm in my 40s and still ride the bike given to me by a friend in childhood as my primary bike. Everything besides the (slightly modified) steel frame has been swapped out numerous times.

I enjoy working on my bikes as they're fairly standard as far as parts go. Swapped the original 26" tires for 640Bs, removed front derailleur for more rear gears, changed hand bars, etc. The bike has grown and changed along with me through the years.
