Hi
Not unusual. Friend who is a bike MOT tester says he would fail a bike for having anodised alloy brake fittings.
The top ones were about 2 years old. No idea of the age of the bottom ones (she had only bought the bike a few weeks before).
All the best

Hi
The stainless hoses scratch the anodising off when they are assembled and they corrode. Seems the corrosion expands and cracks them apart.
Couple of examples from friends bikes
First was about to go touring in France. 2nd somehow still had brakes that worked.
All the best

Hi
Price seems reasonable. Don't expect any great difference from the hoses if your brakes are already well bled.
Make VERY sure that you do not buy any with anodised alloy fittings.
All the best
