Just because they don't spend the big money on advertising doesn't mean Jamis doesn't build some great bikes. They've been selling higher-end steel road bikes since way before it was fashionable (again), and many of their offerings are a lot of bike for the price. The pre-2010 Sputnik was easily my favorite off-the-shelf fixed gear, and I'm wishing I'd picked one up before the, er, redesign (ot doesn't seem like the new and old models would have overlapped too much in market share. It's a shame they aren't selling them side by side). I would really be smitten with the Eclipse as well if they would just level out that top tube (are you listening, Jamis?) . . .

I rode a Langster a long long time ago, and I don't think there's any magic in them that Jamis can't replicate (at least they've done away with the straight-blade aluminum fork, which was like riding a jackhammer). In short, buy whatever you like. Jamis makes great bikes.
