Made me think of the Ship of Theseus https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus but according to the article only a few parts were replaced.

It's not a broom¹ you know. She won't be replacing the frame, pedals, and handlebar any time soon. In terms of both mass and volume that accounts for most of the bike already. for bicycles the identity seems to be tied to the frame mostly.
