Yeah, not going to argue with your view . For some reason I’ve been thinking I had a 2011 bike. But I’ve just been looking at 2006 bikes and the specs and language sound right for my bike, maybe I’m older than i think . I do wish I had the raw aluminium frame though, é vida. I do know now I got a good frame, be that an 8 or a 9, as well and it’s, to me, well worth the investment of new parts. Can’t thank you enough for your help . And, yes, I will upload some pics come the day it hits the road again .
