Are they basically saying the whole bike is a joke?

No, not at all, but the whole description is a subtle punch in the gut of the posh bike scene of the last few years....
"Clean looks, internally routed cables, polished paint and carbon, useless suspension travel and over engineering like the German's favourite child, the car? **** it, steel, rust and welded parts on the steering centre like an old Porsche tractor and it's still fun like the other licked bikes!"
Then there's the "you're welcome", although perhaps 0.1% of buyers would have asked for it.... Wonderful!
And the tyre pressure label on the top tube is the cherry on top of the sundae in the face of the 0.1 psi-more-in-the-tyre-destroys-traction faction.
