I would add that I thought I was buying a bicycle not an ornament. The charge plug2 that I used for the same journey the year before still has the original BB & headset working fine. So in comparison to a bike at a quarter of the price I have been very lucky or unlucky depending on your point of view

It all varied, some years take its tolls on your bike, some doesn't.
Thing is, wear and tears is not something one can easily control (unless you can maintain your own bikes).
You had better luck than I with 11 speed for a everyday bike! (They wear out alarmingly fast).
