Hi, new to forum so please advise if I should post this elsewhere. I just entered mountain/trail biking by buying a Marin Pioneer Trail 29er yesterday. I bought it from a bike store. As with my other bikes, I like to record exactly what I have, and as I'm looking at the specs on Marin's website, I see that I have a 2013 frame and fork with 2014 components (wheels, tires, drivetrain).

I don't mind, but is this normal? That a bike manufacturer will mix components? My road bike and fixed gear bikes match the specifications per year perfectly.
