While I have worked in Trek shops I never bothered to do the homework of comparing model year versions and how much remained the same or were deferent WRT swapping over parts. The BB shell, head tube and steerer, brake caliper spec, cable routing and adjusters could all be deferent enough to not play nice. Also know that in 2001 tire widths and the frame clearances were pretty tight. If you are hoping to run 28mm tires or wide rims do that check before spending $. I will also suggest having the 2001 frame and fork inspected by someone who knows about carbon and its failure modes before your $ leaves your hands. Andy
Dont think 2001 frame details don’t matter since the newer frame is a 2011 frame.
