I had to remind myself about THAT.
Interesting question! Are WE all effectively Ships of Theseus, given that most of our cells are being replaced throughout our lives?

In the 70s I got my first "racer". It was a wreck but may have been a decent bike 10 years prior, it had a Suntour Skitter mech and a rear hub with a freewheel block one side and fixed the other.
Out of curiosity I set it up as fixed and rode it to school for a bit. It was a bit weird and tried to kill me. Had I understood its significance I could have been the school's first hipster, sipping extra strong Nescafé (espresso didn't exist in the Midlands back then). But I didn't and I soon reverted to gears. Now in my old age I think I might get one just to see what the fuss is about.
