i swapped over my toupe, compact drops+stem, and gr9's, and it's a whole new world riding a bike that just responds when I hammer on it, it is yellow and even though I am not to keen on yellow bikes, I think I got a good enough deal to look past the color.
it also has wheels with colored nipples, so I feel extra fancy having my first non bikes direct fixed gear. It's definitely heavier, but not noticeably when riding, and the size is spot on.
I have the 2010 version.
I'm quite happy with mine.
