Hi guys,
I have been searching for a Trail SL29ER F4 in a Large frame and I got word this AM of a new one (2010) has popped up not to far from me. Price is $999.00.
The 2011 equivalent will be called a Trail SL29ER F2. The price and ship date is not known to me yet.
It's like waiting for christmas!
My question is, should I nab the 2010 or wait? I admit waiting for the 2011 is in great antisipation. Will the 2011 MSRP be more than the $999.00. Are the component changes worth the wait?
There have been some component changes. Could you guys look at both the specs and say if you would go grab the 2010 or not?
Are the Shimano brakes 160mm x 160mm over the Auriga 180mm x 160mm worth the wait?
