Just looked at the 2009 Jake on the Kona site (ride, BTW). It looks like they've downgraded the crankset to FSA Omega, and it claims an 8 speed cassette, although I question that because it still lists Tiagra shifters. The price is up to $899. They've dropped the Avid Shorty 4's which if I'm not mistaken used to be stock all the way up to the Major Jake. Now the Jake comes with "Kore Sport" while the JTS comes with "Kore Race" and MJ with "Kore Race Plus". I'll be looking now to see what those are.
