Well my LBS had a demo frame/fork they wanted to sell me for $980. They still have it. I went with the 06 because at the time I liked the color a lot better and it came with a number of parts I thought I would use (seat post, saddle, stem) that the Pro frame didn't come with...plus it would be NEW vs have a few hundred miles on it with some chips. In retrospect maybe I should have gone the other way...but I am happy with what I have.
