My girlfriend has that exact bike.

We changed out the bar and the saddle, but it's more or less as delivered.
Mine is one model up (same year) and the only thing that's still stock on it is the seat post and the seatpost QR

Though mine has been retired from being the main offroader it's still my daily ride. They're good frames and will last forever with a bit of care. (Framesaver in the frame tubes to prevent rust) We've owned them since they were new, and (at least mine) will be in our quiver of bikes for years to come. I can't say the same for my aluminum trailbike.
