Jamis Customer Service, etc
I've been out there trying to buy a Jamis Aurora in the Seattle area for a week. Nearly all the dealers claim that the bike was short on production and won't be available again in the 2005 model. Still, a fair number of those same dealers claimed that they were soon discontinuing Jamis due to poor customer service (to the dealers). My question is, what's up with Jamis?
I'm bummed because I test rode the Aurora in a 57 cm model (I need a 59 cm) and apart from the discomfort of the size, it was such a sweet ride, I'm practically ready to drop the cash to the first dealer that has it in my size. None of them do and none can get them!
By the way, any suggestions on a road bike under $850 that has decent components, steel frame and preferably disc brakes- in other words, a good stable bike built for lots of hilly commuting and the occasional long ride (150-200 miles, roundtrip).
Thanks!
