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.

gracias

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.

When my opal grey Scirocco, with bosses, was first built up in Spring 2005, the shop also had a Peach (?) colored frame that was without bosses.

(that was a nice color: IMO better than the Mango that came in later models)
