Case in point...my 2009 Trek 1.5.



I got a 2009 and paid a 2008/leftover price for it.

Here's an 08' 1.5 & Madone 6.9.





The current trend by Cannondale & Specialized of making aluminum
copies of their carbon superbikes was being done by Trek 5 years ago.

My 2nd budget bike, my 2009 Cannondale CAAD9-7.
Before it was assembled, I had the Ultegra SL crank installed.
