I had some hair that somehow made its way into the hub ratcheting mechanism, and in cleaning that out, I lost a single ball bearing. I had to buy like a 1000 pack of ball bearings just to replace the one. Other than that, the chain, and bar tape, everything is original.
I did recently decide that I might as well do a complete tear down over winter while I wasn't riding it, so it's currently in pieces that I probably need to reassemble now that it's spring.
