    According to Trek's website, it has an effective TT length of 55.5cm/21.9inches.

    The spec of this bike is the same as the 2009 bike. The only components that have undergone significant development in the interim are the shifters and front mech; Shimano replaced the LX groupset with the SLX groupset in the mtb world (I believe LX has been redeveloped for touring bikes). If I were tossing up between the '08 bike and the '09 bike I would certainly go for the '08 and save some $$.

    Are there any other bikes you are considering? Try and ride a few, for real on dirt if possible.
    Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

    It's not uncommon for the less common sizes, (mens small and xtra large) to be leftover. Frankly, 40 % off is a heck of a deal, and if the bike fits I honestly don't know how someone could do better on a new bike?
