The Touring Bike of Theseus
Started as a gray 2003 Cannondale T800 touring bike that was mostly stock on it’s first tour (2003)

Some changes for the 2008 tour. I added Phil hubs and changed the stem.

2011 tour: Stem change, crank change, Paul cantilever brakes, upgrade to Ultegra shifters, wheel rebuild with DT Swiss Alpine III spokes.
2015 tour: I scored a 2010 T1 frame. Another crank,
red Paul cantis, red bits, different stem and handlebar. The Brooks changed from a B17 Narrow to a B17 Special with titanium rails.
2016: No tour but flashier wheels, different stem, different crank.
2020: Different fork, different crank, leather tape.
2021 Tour: Most every thing remained the same but I got matching bags. I should find a different stuff sack for my sleeping bag. I have a different tent now which is a little less “clashy”.
