What are the differences between the 08 and 09model year bikes? Reason is I've seen an 08 MY bike for £1150, so would this be massively different to the 09 one?

    08 bike apparantly a little lighter as the 09 has thicker rims - the 08 has st rear mech an deore chainset , the 09 has slx I think, think the geometry changedn ever so slightly, other than that, negligble, I'd get an 08 and spend your savings on goodies

    Oh and whichever you end up buying, make you buy some cleartape to avoid the dreaded cable rub, get it on as soon as!

    ah yes! thought i recognised the username!! :lol:

    in the south - and just realised that a girl i work with has a (mens) 2008 ex8 i could "borrow" for a morning!

    Ta for the offer matt! but i need a medium rather than a large... and i'm at the opposite end of the country...
