Actually, it's a 2002 :) There was the disk model. And there was the version without electric starter, kick only. My new bike is the intermediate, drum brakes with electric starter. On the picture is the kick only version... The graphics color are different, accordingly to the model (basic, intermediate, deluxe). It's not complicated and not too expensive to retrofit the front wheel with the model that came from factory with disk. Maybe in the future I'm doing that. Meanwhile, this drum brake really work nice, not very progressive and smooth as disk, but does the job of stopping the bike properly. Didn't test in the rain though... -- T

(^^^^^^^ there's a news flash!) if we donate Made In USA goods, we get a double whammy; trickle-down Reaganesque stimulus plus fuzzy feel-good humanitarian here we come to save the world typical overextending our influence or responsibility depending on how you want to look at the way we "solve" all the world's problems kinda voodoo. I should really stay on task.
