No Tom, what the auction states is: "The faces of the bottom bracket shell have been chamfered to take a Mavic bottom bracket." No mention of reaming.
What the Mavic specs call for is a 2mm chamfer. It does not compromise the bottom bracket shell in any way for the future use of a conventional bottom bracket.
