I have the 2009 SE Draft and I've ridden the heck out of it. In fact I rode my first century on it.

While mine has 3 piece cranks it still has that euro BB. There is an adapter for it. http://www.vorb.org.nz/rez_display.php?c=1&mode=product&pid=1549
Thats just an example of what I found after a quick search. One problem I've had is I keep popping spokes on the rear wheel. I plan to replace the wheel set with something from Bike Island. Before I rode the century I put on a pair of bare ends and wrapped them with gel handlebar tape. I also added a Myrical hybrid bar end mirror.

Oh, I also added a bell I found in a dollar store and put my Brooks B-17 Imperial on it.

About the weight, I'm sure people that complain about it are probably pretty much weight weenies that complain about any bike over 15 pounds as being "too heavy" and a "boat anchor". Personally, I don't mind the weight of the SE Draft. I've had heavier bikes made of aluminum and cro-moly. I like the way the Draft rides. I've had a lot of fun on it. On the century I did there were a lot of people on some expensive geared bikes complaining about wind and such during the ride. When I pointed out that I was having a ball on my SS and had to just deal with the wind and (admitted ly easy) climbs with what I had, well they thought I was crazy for one thing and probably made a note to themselves not to complain around the crazy SS guy.
