I thought the crank arms didn't spin quite freely and when moving them slowly, I felt bearing balls a little and thought BB was maybe over-tightened. Being new to this modern BB, I assumed it being like the old ones with lock nut that backed off the tension on bearings.
As I said there, the NDS bearing has some friction in it compared to the DS one. With grease making it slippery, you need to get the grip on it to move it, vs the other side, the DS. I bought a new BB and it is still to arrive.
Bike looks exactly like this except handlebars are different, not jutting up as much, but only a little. They were changed to Vision Carbon bars by previous owner.
