crank: LBS will exchange to fit your leg length
saddle: LBS will exchange to fit your butt width
levers: LBS will adjust to suit you

bb cable routing? paint doesn't rub off of plastic, plastic doesn't rust.
plastic doesn't crush when hitting a rock/curb. cheap and easy to replace.
there are various styles to choose from if you don't like the one provided.
i suppose the LBS could have changed that as well.
