Fusion 2010 vs. 2011?
Hey mountain bikers,
I was looking to get a bicycle for trail riding and found the bike i really wanted right now for a really good price.
I found a lightly used (commuting) rocky mountain Fusion 2010 for 400 bucks, looks like new!
However there is an anniversary (83rd) sale in a bike store near me (Brown's cycles) next week and maybe i can get the 2011 for 100 or 200 more, brand new.
Of course the first choice looks more pleasing, however the parts on the 2010 are a bit different from the 2011, and the 2011 frame looks delicious
Can someone compare and contrast the parts that changed from 2010 to 2011?
