I have several bikes. The most heavily modified is my commuting bike.
Originally this was a Marin Sausalito (dating from when these where
steel framed bikes).
I had a new front wheel built with a Schmidt SON dynamo. I have some
B&M lamps to go with the dynamo. I had a new rear wheel built with a
rohloff speedhub. So I no longer have the original mechs or
shifters. The brake levers have been replaces, although the original
brakes are still there. The BB has been replaced several times, as
have the sprockets and chain, of course. I still have the original
triple chainrings, although since the Speedhub I only use the outer
one - I could replace with a single one I guess. The bike has a
crossbar child carrying seat which I still use to take my daughter to
school (although soon she'll be a bit big for that. The bike has extra
handlebar grips in the middle of the bar for her to hold onto. I have
some nice Ritchey spd-alike pedals. Obviously I've been through many
tyres, at the moment the bike has Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres front
and back. The rear rack that I bought when I first bought the bike is
still there.
