The 2012 "6.9/SSL" frame is designated the 700 Series, to differentiate it from the 2011 which AFAIK was the 600 series. I don't call it a "6.9", because I got the frame and put a mix of parts on it: some from the 5.2 and some new. But it's essentially a D/A 7900 6.9. For 2012, the higher end 6 series Madones use 700 series frames. The ST is asymmetrical, and I'm not sure that was true in 2011.

Thanx,
I have a 2011 6.7
I don't remember what they called their " High Speed - Low Drag" carbon... SSL I think.
Spose I could go look.

Regarding weight, that one came direct from Bmc after my last cracked in the downtube in three spots and the seat tube in a couple while doing short intervals one day.

Update from a year ago
Sorry about the blurry.
Started running 25cc tires and its great.
Also started running a 120mm stem, which is also great.
Too lazy to get the extra stack cut. I suppose I'll never get on slamthatstem.com

The deda newtons I have are the only things i was ever comfortable on... I did use bartape to pad the bends though.
The other things I loved were the bars that came stock on my 84 trek. Never seen those bars for 31.8 though. They were also 38cm...
