I know some people still swear by their old iPods or film cameras. For me it’s a 15 year old Western Digital external HDD. Do you have any older gadgets or tech that you refuse to let go of?

    My 90s bike.

    Most of the components have certainly evolved when you look at a modern counterpart.

    But it’s still fully repairable, serviceable at home or on the trail, extremely reliable, and doesn’t require any firmware updates or batteries to use 😄

    • Cantilever rim brakes.
    • Square tapered bottom bracket.
    • Cup and cone hub bearings.
    • External cables.
    • Friction shifters (may latest “upgrade”!)
    • Steel frame.

    So much about it is “outdated”, but I love the hell out of it.
