Phrases that are used way too often.
"Rides like a dream". Ok.......
"Fits like a glove". Sometimes "it fits me perfectly" is said even though when you see the setup clearly requires the rider to be a contortionist.
What else did I miss?

"Build" to mean bike. Sure, it's a word and not a phrase, but it's more overused than anything else on the list.
