This should be the 2011 model. It looks exactly like this: http://****************/wp-content/up...xed-gear-5.jpg

Is it possible that my bike shop stripped the factory brakes and put on cheaper ones? If so is this a common practice or should I avoid this shop? Could the manufacturer put them on or misrepresented them on the web site?

Thanks for all the info!
