Fresh meat: Poor fellow in my office has had a Create (the cream version with black rims) for two weeks. After leaving to ride home last night he returned five minutes with a left crank that turns independently of the right. Silly me always assumed that bb axles were made out of one solid piece of metal, we've not taken it out yet but this one feels like it's two pieces with some chewing gum in-between.
Suffice to say in the last 24 hrs I've had a chance to see one up close all I can say is AVOID CREATE BIKES LIKE THE PLAGUE. I wonder that no-one has been seriously injured on one of these yet.
