The Triton is the same as the LeMond Fillmore. They've been making those for at least two years or so. Probably longer. I think the main difference was paint job and (at one time) the bars. I think the 2008 was basically the same bike as the Fillmore with a different paint job.
I have a LeMond Fillmore and haven't had any issues with it. The bottom bracket isn't really 'dodgy' I wouldn't think. But maybe it is and I've just not had problems with it. That said, I will probably be changing out the crankset (and therefore the bottom bracket) in the next few months.
The bike itself has all the usual shortcomings of any mid-priced OTP: cheap wheels (actually, cheap components in general) and a bit of weight (not as much as a Charge; basically the same as a Fuji).
