Damn, posted prematurely. But the answer is 12 years. My Cannondale CX qua commuter bike bit the dust. I was doing my occasional maintenance -- which was extensive because the BB, RD and FD had gone to sh**. The pulleys had shark's teeth, and the FD cage had practically worn through. The BB was shot, and the bike was creaking like crazy, including a snapping sound that made be a bit nervous -- and for good reason. The left side chain stay had practically cracked all the way around. Waaah. Bike two down (Supersix in roof rack incident). I'm down to one bike -- the Roobay. Time to go on a buying spree for a fast commuter.

In 1965 or 6 I worked on DC-3's built in the 1930's. My mother had
aluminum cooking pots that she bought in ~1930 and lasted until her
death in 1992.

Like the 'phillpis curve' and other fantasies of the 1970s,
that was roundly debunked years ago.

Some of those DC-3s are still working. There's someone who put turbo
props on them, even. They're not pressurized, so they dont' suffer
from pressure cycles, and they structure is such that every part can
be replaced, without too much other changes.

Yeah and the fact that Froome is a good rider proves that he is doping.

Back in 1978 or so, I designed and made my own handlebar bag. The bags
I had at the time had a 1/4" steel hanger frame that looped under the
stem and over the handlebar.

I decided to try an aluminum hanger frame on mine. I used a 3/8" rod of
2024, annealed it, bent it into the pretty contorted shape, then heat
treated it again. I'm sure it saved me as much as an ounce.

I wondered how soon the aluminum would fatigue. But it's been fine for
40 years now.

Time to go on a buying spree for a fast commuter.

Isn't that an oxymoron?
