I am trying to decide what gary fisher nirvana bike to buy. The XXL size (25 inch) that I need is now available as 2003 and 2004 model. The 2003 model looks great in red and the 2004 model is black.
The few differences as far as I can see are:
2003 (550 euro (this is -10%))
Gripshift Centera
Fork Insync Odesa168 45 mm
Front and rear rim Matrix 750
Bontrager Invert II | 700x38c
Saddle Oasis CRZ+
2004 (599 euro)
Shifters Shimano Alivio
Fork RockShox Metro GPS 60mm travel
Front and rear rim Alex ACE19 (?)
Bontrager Select Invert Hardcase | 700x35c
Saddle Bontrager CRZ+
The fork is slightly better I think, since it was already mounted on the more expensive utopia model in 2003.
The differences in the wheels and tyres I do not understand. The 2004 model I saw has spokes connected to the rims in a different, i think stronger, manner (double butted???).
Can someone help me understand the differences between both models.
Thanks,
Jan
