I heard that the only difference is the fork. I've had the 2007 for about a month, and I'm in heaven, though I should add that because of some confusion at my localest bike shop about putting a singlespeed cog safely on the narrow singlespeed side of the stock flip flop hub (you can do it, but these mechanics, used to fixed gear only, were not familiar with it) I have never ridden the stock bike. I upgraded immediately to Deep V rims and Phil Wood hubs, and I've never looked back.
But the bottom line is that it is a really nice set up for an off the rack bike, fits more perfectly, and rides like a dream.
