My old frame was 2012 and my new frame was 2013. I actually liked the look of the 2012 better, but it's still a nice looking bike. I was just glad to get rid of the noise and make use of the brake.

I've been struggling with this back brake since I got the bike. It was noisy from the beginning, but I thought it would go away. Instead it got worse, and developed into a super-loud harmonic honk...
