Hi guys,

I am in the market for a Giant CRX 0 for my commute to work. I went to one of the bike stores in the area to get an idea of price when I spotted they still had a 2007 model CRX 0 on the shop floor. My dilema now is which is a better spec'd bike the 2007 or 2008? Being old stock the 2007 model can be had cheaper than a 2008 model but for the purpose of comparison I'd like to put price aside for the minute and just look purely at componentry.

According to the Giant Australia web site the differences are

2008 http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-AU/bikes/road/1127/28933/

Shimano M485 hydraulic disc brakes
Raceface Ride bar and stem
Selle Italia Trans AM FK
Shimano M520 SPD clipless
Giant Lock-on grips

2007 http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-AU/bikes/road/654/22367/?collections_id=2

Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes
Easton EA30 bar/stem
Fi'zi:k Aliante Sport w/manganese rail
Velo anatomic comfort grips
Shimano M505 SPD clipless

Finally, has there been any changes to frame contruction etc between the 2007 and 2008 model years?

Thanks in advance.
