If they accidentally buy this bike, with its "we want to force you to buy our crankset" bottom bracket, they are sunk.
Worse yet... this custom offset bottom bracket requires a CUSTOM DISHED REAR WHEEL, per a few articles I’ve read out there. So you can’t easily upgrade or replace your wheels without getting the rear one re-dished.

That is so ridiculous. Total deal breaker.
