For full disclosure, this one was cut in half. What you can't see from the picture is the right crank arm threads are completely stripped out, from the inside all the way out. The only way this crank was coming off was by cutting it off.
When Electra was contacted with the problem, there initial response was, "Why are you taking the cranks off anyways?"
Me, "To grease the bb."
Electra, "You mean the bb's aren't coming greased?"
Me, after a chuckle, "About half of them have some grease."
Electra did warranty this bike, and it was cut in half so it wouldn't be resold. And in their defense, the warranty guy was more concerned about the fact that I still felt like we had to remove every bb and grease it ourselves. He said he would be passing that info on to the appropriate person to ensure that they came greased. I will still be checking.
