found a used frame and not sure of the year. it still has brake bosses so i think it is older than '05. anyone have any info as to when they eliminated them? the color is sort of a rust.
I have a 2005 catalog and it shows the seat stays with bosses and they are straight. Colors were Opal Grey and Ocean Blue. I own a 2006 and it doesn't have the bosses and it features the slightly upward curving seat stays. So, all I can say for sure is that it's older than 2005 based on the rust color. Maybe somebody else knows which colors were which years to narrow it down for you.
