I wouldn't worry about it. It takes a while for a frame to get built, painted, decaled, built up as a bike, distributed, and sold; at any point along that process, the model year or specifications may change. Or they may run out of a particular component, decal, or whatever. And aside from that any kind of weirdness may occur. For example, I have a 720 that I bought as a frame, new, in the summer of '83. It had just arrived at the shop, direct from Trek; but according to the serial number, it's an '82. And it has an Italian threaded Cinelli BB. According to the literature &c that I've seen, every Trek came with an English threaded BB. All except mine, that is.
exactly! almost every catalog I ever saw had a disclaimer on the back stating this.
where is this guys 'shop'? someone else had a link to his website he seems to have alot of nice looking bike at decent prices.
