Sure they're bb7's? Look more like bb5s to me. Either way, I've ridden both bb5s and bb7s and they've felt horribly spongy and underpowered compared to hydraulics, and they don't have the weight saving of a good set of v brakes.
With the amount of money they've spent on the bike I'd more likely expect a set of elixir/hope x2 or possibly even XTR v brakes.
