Default 1 Year on a Department Store Bike

Here you go:

http://www.humbletown.org/budgetbike/1year.htm

The executive summary:

# 5,938km
# 136 round-trip commutes
# 3 one-way commutes
# 15 broken spokes (all in the rear wheel)
# 13 punctures (all in the rear tyre)
# 4 worn-out tyres
# 2 worn-out chains
# 2 sets worn-out brake pads
# 1 worn-out freewheel
# $497.00 saved Vs riding the bus (depending on how you measure it.)
