Duration Product Used:

Strengths:
A quick climber with resposive handling to the rocky terrain. Easier on your body than aluminum and easier on the wallet than titanium. Great mix of componets. The saddle SDG's new bel-air is comfortable and easy to get off the back.
Weaknesses:
Personally I do not like rapid fire shifter's. Unable to upgrade to disc brakes.
Similar Products Used:
Balance 450, Specialized rock hopper,
Bike Setup:
Removed the XTR rapid fires and replaced with SRAM ESP 9.0 the rest if the bike is out of the box.
Bottom Line:
If your looking for a screaming deal on a race ready bike out of the box and you love steel. Than this Jamis is for you. The guy's & gal at Pro Cyclery in Vegas Hooked me up.
