Personally, Seems like every new, to me bike, will get slowly stripped as and when things need doing. But then I do buy bikes with issues so a quick strip and check of all the bearings and moveable bits to make sure they are all greased and free. Makes a bike handle better as I have always found dry bearings and bit of marine grease never hurt. Not as if there is much to do, and an excuse to clean the bike too.
