spec differences from '08 models are:

rims- '08=Mach1 510 w/machined sidewall, 32 hole 09'=Jalco GX460, 700c, 32h

Crank- '08=FSA Vero 48T '09=Awful looking 4-arm Truvativ 5D 42T

specsheet lists the same handlebars and brake levers, however the image obviously has some funky track/flat/road style bars with cross style levers. and purple tape/grip condom. and purple chain. i'm a fan of all things purple so i'm not complaining. actually i'm complaining because that's lavender, not purple.


i actually prefer the black frame to '08's BBQ color scheme, sans the white fork and seat tube.
