    I would and I did, however I got the 08 model for £1200.

    If you check out the specialized concept stores, I think they still have some 08 ones available, a colleague bought one from them last week.

    A £200 saving for a different colour could not justify getting an 09 model for me.

    My only issue with the 08 version is the rather low bottom bracket.

    all stumpys have a low bb i think, both of mine do (05 and 07) but y9u et used to it and the lower centre of gravity makes the bike alot more stable.

    i got the hardtail, black/red frame. this was my first bike in about 10 years, my last one was crap townsend so the stumpy was a big step up.

    Definately notice the low bottom bracket on my Stumpy FSR.

    I found the steering a little wierd on the switchbacks too. Easily sorted with a shorter stem though
