Ship of Theseus, a term I think all BMX riders should be familiar with. Is that bike that you changed out every part, still your original bike?

In spiritual succession yes. Physicality no
Haha my first ar the only original part is the upper receiver 🤣
Awww dude!!! I didn’t know there was a name for it!!! Haha
The only part left from my original WTP Reason is the frame, but it still feels like the same bike.
My seatpost lives on! I’ve had it since 2007.
If the frame is the same, it’s the same bike. Once the frame changes, it’s a new bike. The frame is the soul of the bike.
Once you change the frame it’s definitely over, up to that point it’s just customising which is a big part of bmx if not all bikes really.
