It is a bit early for this, but not for people like me looking to purchase a Stumpy soon. Wait for the '08 or grab the '07 before they are gone.
'07 Pros: Cost- much less than the '08
Parts- Non-integrated parts mean more choices
Travel: 140mm with Talas Fork
'08 Pros: Newer is better?
Weight- Lighter by how much?
What else? To me, it looks like the '08 was held back to less than 5" of travel to create room between it and the Enduro SL (they look A LOT alike). It looks like the '08 is a bit simplier than the '07 which may mean they are making more money on this bike. Also, all Spesh components might mean greater integration but is also means more margin $$.
Ride? That is the big one: Any guesses here?
Which bike, the '07 or the '08?
