09 55cm flite 100 + changes
took the semi-clips/reflectors off the pedels. besides that its stock 
its super sweet, i dig it. then again i might be biased.. i just spent $550 on it
p.s. NO MORE BRAKE FOR 09 + they put a 'gold' lockring/cog on it that doesnt need to be replaced/changed tires(no more kenda..).

p.s. id say threadless headset, sealed BB, crank, saddle, lbs support and khs warranty = better than $200 saved on kilo. thats just mho tho..

same, as in: same as you.
I agree, I'd say the same thing.
etc, etc, etc.
I didnt know about the TTpro when I ordered this thing. besides, they arent even shipping yet.. and i ordered this thing mid july. I wanted a bike.
plus my lbs > internet
they hook it up.

I spoke with someone at KHS a couple days ago and they said the 09 flite 100's would come in white and the sizing would be the same as 08'. And didn't even have a spec sheet on it yet. Where are you getting this from? sounds like a fake to me.

ROFL, why would i fake photos and make this up?
just asking..
but ya, i called khs about upgrading to a carbon fork.. and when i ask customer service what deg. of rake i needed to not change my geo, they told me they didnt even make the bike in a 55cm.. but when i absolutely insisted that they did, because i was touching one as we spoke he went and asked someone in the office.
he quickly came back on and apologize and told me that the 55cm has a 28deg. rake on the fork. beyond that the bike is actually flat black. i know i said it was dark grey before but now that ive owned it for more than 45min. i realize its totally black. i switched up some stuff(pursuit bars, brakes/levers) and i like it even more now. ill post up another pic of the thing later.
p.s. i think they cheaped out a little more on the components this year(no name crank and i dont think the fg cog is DA anymore..) but the thing is still super sweet. all it needs is a wheelset..

Anyone care to call this mission hills bike shop and ask for the 09? Well I did cause I live near by and they said they haven't even received them yet and they still had 1 08' model in stock and like KHS stated to me. "those won't ship until November". ROFL So you tell me why you'd lie about it davewins?
