Spends over £1000 on wheels, then buys £80 cranks......

buys £80 cranks
What performance benefit do you think accrues to spending more than that on cranks?
-
Stiffness, weight?
Or if you're gonna be spendy, go the whole hog. -
Stiffness, weight?
More money (or just better judgement) can certainly get you more of one and less of the other, but that doesn't answer the question.

At the margin, all builds are compromised by budget constraints. If that bike is meant to go fast, it's still in need of better wheels before any change to the cranks is going to be a better performance buy.

The valve caps?
I know; right...
(Not to mention the "In case of emergency, BREAK HERE." frame.)
But!
They do have the cranks in the most aesthetic position.
So there's that.

They got the brakes on the right side somehow?
When I see these I always wonder what the handling is like with a backwards fork.

Excessively stable. Easy enough to ride, but not very enjoyable.

See stayer bikes.

Not quite the same as they have a small front wheel, which negates some of the effects of reversing the fork even in the olden days when your motor pace bike was literally just your track bike with a small wheel in the reversed fork, not a specifically designed and built Stayer.

Not quite the same
But close enough in terms of what a reversed fork does.

Look at it more carefully. It looks like somebody had a fun idea - Schwinn/Electra ergonomics but light and fast. The trouble is, as you go through it you realise that if you had been doing it yourself you would have changed literally every single component compared with what is presented here.
