How do some folk remember to breathe?

sounds good Franken, you must have ridden some distance on the OCR to go through all those parts !

my previous road bike was a OCR1 would have been similar vintage or older. I clocked about 50,000km on that

I will confess that some of that gear changing was due to equipment carnage (BB's and one set of Cranks, 110kg Pacific Islanders weren't really Giant's target riding group when they designed it). I'd reckon it would still be less than half what you did with yours. (did i mention 3 trip computers? They go missing when you aren't watching and they don't like being run over.)

Hahahaha!
To be quite truthfull with you Franken, I dont think many things were designed for use by chunky Pacific Islanders...
When I had my Stonemasonry business going I employed two MASSIVE Maori boiz....
Those guys did twice the work of any of the other blokes but man, they could kill any piece of equipment simply by picking it up
One of the boiz weighed in at 137kg and he could pick up a stone that weighed around 150kg as if it was a feather....
He bent a 60mm hardened steel jump bar just by smacking a stone with it.. Not to mention countless numbers of 25kg rock hammer handles. I had to keep at least five spares on hand at any given time.
Powerful brutes, but gentle as lambs.

Those stories sound suspiciously like stuff my cousins would do. I remember helping a mate & his dad firewood a couple of big old pines they had to have removed. I managed to break six ax handles, including a supposedly unbreakable splitting axe handle.
