If the bike 'em, I'd be worried. That's alot of cable replacing.
I can attest to this the cables on my beater bike which is equipped with 105 have been replaced twice on the front side and once on the rear. Both times the cable unspun on the front, that rear was frayed and almost broke. Bike has about 12000km on it.
