My Cannondale roadbike (Al frame and fork with Shimano 600 [now called Ultegra] components) is reaching the 100 kmile mark and is nearing an age of 20 years. Wondering what recommendations people have for parts that should be replaced for safety or other reasons. I'm about 175 lbs and a tourist-class rider living in a fairly hilly area (Eastbay of San Francisco). Parts on the bike that have already been replaced are: numerous tires/tubes many chains about 7 cassettes a few sets of handlebar tape three sets of front brake pads some cables as needed a few spokes in the rear wheel front rim rear wheel bearings regreased twice front wheel bearings regreased once bottom bracket spindle large chainring flipped over once due to wear.

Stem and bars would be the most crucial things to swap. Cheap too, Nitto classic bend for $30 and quill stems are still pretty easy to find. Check your cranks for cracks. Check pedal spindles. Other than that, I can't think of anything super crucial.
