Hmm looks like a Demo 7 '08 model. That's my guess. However, do you know what has been changed on it and what is original? If you do then that would help narrow it down. As far as I know the complete bike wasn't available until 2007 and the frame that was on sale in 2006 wasn't white, but it could have been resprayed of course! |

Ah true, 2004 is the start point. Was using http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/Defa ... LqAGazcnBr for reference. Quite hard to spot changes in the frame over the years. |
