I've had both the old n new frames, n prefer the 07 version. The changes on it make it ride so much nicer. Much easier on the back wheel, Nicer to sidehop, gap, u name it....the changes improve the bike lots. And it is deffinately much nicer to tap....daves point is irrelevant, he just cant ride high bb bikes lol. + it looks better! hope this has helped and isnt too late. Matt
