That is precisely where my Nishiki Competition frame broke after 20 years and about 40K miles.
I have also broken a Peugeot UO-8 frame on the chainstay between the chainring and tire clearance dimples.
Back to the original query: I estimate my cumulative mileage since 1962, when I took up cycling, at close to 200K km, or about 120K miles, including a fair number of hills. I am currently trying to average 60 - 100 miles / week. My one lifetime athletic achievement was a 12 hr 18 min double century in Los Aneles in 1972.
