Mine was a leftover 08 or 07, bought in the spring of 09.

I've never had a pedal strike problem, either I'm slow & lame on the corners (definitely possible), or my cranks are a bit shorter than yours (although mine are whatever came on the bike), or my slimmer pedals make the difference. The pedals I'm running give probably almost 10mm of extra clearance at the outside edge vs. platforms with cages.

BTW, I did end up putting some small lights on the bike, but no computer, bell, or mirror. For riding in the city, I learned that I prefer not having a computer. I got warned once by the cops about the lack of bell, I told them that my bell had been stolen and I had a replacement on my dresser at home that I hadn't had time to install yet. And I wear a helmet-mounted mirror, which I've been doing for years - love it.
