$1299.00 | | Purchased At: | private sale | | Strengths: | um. everything. this bike is a dream. | | Weaknesses: | don't think i could find one if i tried. | | Similar Products Used: | dakota xc, cannondale F500, F700, Fisher stumpjumper | | Bike Setup: | changed fork out to a sid xc, answer handlebar, lp seat stem and bar ends, avid mag v-breaks, azonic stem, fizik saddle, | | Bottom Line: | this bike is amazing. got it down to 21 pounds by changing out the components listed above, and considering that i'm a 115 pound rider, this has alowed me to be increadably light on the trail and more agressive (not that the stock 23 pounds really weighs me down at all). this bike climbs like an absolute deamon, i swear it grows feet out the sides and just plows up steps over roots and so on. the combination of light a light frame, superior components that make shifting and handingling with confidence a reality, one word: "Steel". and the fact that this is probably the best hardtail outthere.
this bike is a classic | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: July 9, 2001 | | Favorite Trail: | Quilty Trail (Onteora Lake) | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Built in shop, frame from Jamis | | Strengths: | great steel frame,nice smooth ride, very responsive, great color (RED).The set up I've done on this bike makes it a blast. | | Weaknesses: | None yet!! | | Similar Products Used: | Rocky mtn. Altitude T.O., Rocky Element race, Barracuda A2V | | Bike Setup: | This is the ticket,total custom,wheels- American Clasic disk hubs laced to Mavic 317 disk hoops with titainium spokes, XT components including XT hydr. disk brakes,thompson elite stem, c2 bar, race face xy post, terry fly saddle, time attac peddals, green light tubes, pannarace trailblaster tires | | Bottom Line: | This bike rocks,,,,The Jamis stock team issue bike is a rocket ship and a great deal. but I wanted somthing different. I wanted a wet weather steel racer that is still light enough!! Think I did it,and love it! What a ride, and thumbs up for the XT hydr. brakes. Nice modulation,,and great power. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1850.00 | | Purchased At: | Supergo, Phoenix | | Strengths: | Everything is just about perfect. | | Weaknesses: | The UST tyres leak just a little, just check pressures before riding.
The stock grips rotate on the bars and would give blisters. Either buy something else or safety-wire the grips to the bars. | | Similar Products Used: | 1999 Specialized MAXX Backbone FSR | | Bike Setup: | Stock, with 'firm' fork springs and SPD pedals | | Bottom Line: | XTR everything, MARS Super fork, Mavic UST wheels, Hutchinson Python tyres, steel frame and understated aesthetics. Jamis has a winner with carefully chosen components, reasonable price.
The bike is stable, fits me perfectly, rides like a dream. I'd be interested to see how Jamis beats this because I think it's impossible.
If it wasn't 110 degress here I might actually be able to ride it.
