Anyone have one or know someone with one?
Not sure why I would care whether a company makes its own frames, or has them manufactured by another company (which probably reaps greater economies of scale, which means I get more for my money). Giant, for example, makes frames for itself and for several other big companies - and they do it very, very well.
And when more brands are going back to threaded BBs, I can't see any reason to choose one (Look) which is basically a weird, proprietary press-fit that will be harder to source at replacement time. If I'm going to buy a pf BB, it'll be something that will definitely be around in 15 years.
