Taking into consideration the price of the bike($1300), geometry and components, would you say that the PressFit BB that the bike come with is a deal breaker for you?
For me if everything else about the bike is what you want and not available with a threaded BB I would buy that bike. There may or may not be some issues with the press fit but most can be fixed in various ways without spending big $$. The same Shimano BB that comes with this bike sells for around $20 if it happens to wear faster than some so no big deal.
