Hi Eagle. Quite a lot of spares available in Europe now. EBay listed about 3 items in the first 3-4 weeks after launch now there are pages of stuff. Give it a few weeks and you'll be spoilt for choice.
Congrats on the new bike.

In the US, model years typically start August 1 of the previous year. Similar to the way some companies have their fiscal year start in late spring.
