Not sure. If they did, I wonder if they would also design a more narrow bottom bracket to allow use of an American style single piece crank? I spoke with Mike about this at NAHBS this year. If you are only going to have one chain ring, his set up is arguably more durable and easy to maintain. Single piece cranks will not work on most modern bikes as the bottom bracket is too wide to fit them in.
