I've got a '02, and I've looked at the '03s in the store. Aside from new colors, I don't see any difference. By the way, I've been using a Mule for about 8 years. Absolutely a great hydration system. Plus, I no longer have to carry my mini pump, tools, or spare tube on the bike.

Thanks for responding. I just bought the '03 MULE. $76 total. Ouch.
I was going through two big water bottles and looking for a third
(which I did not have) on every ride. I often had to stop and refill
when I just wanted to keep pedaling. I also occasionally dropped my
bottle while drinking on the bike. The MULE should resolve my probs.
