I'm always bemused by the use of the word "bits" to mean "bike parts." Since it's a British usage--as far as I know, at least--it makes some sense in the context of an British bike, wherever the owner happens to be from. If the owner is British, it makes good sense no matter where the bike originated. If neither is true, it makes no sense.
