Well, Jamis finally has their specs out for the 2015 bikes on the website. It's been 20 years since I've looked seriously at new bikes and I had finally narrowed down to a Jamis Coda Comp after testing Fujis, Raleighs, Giants, Specialized, etc. Now it appears they've changed enough in 2015, including lowering the overall price, that it's difficult for me to tell whether I should wait until they're available, or try to find a (slightly more expensive) 2014.

I should say I primarily intend to use the bike for local/around town errands, an occasional 7 mile commute to work, and taking my 2 year old son to daycare/on rides using a Topeak Bike Seat (most likely).

I would appreciate if other experts on the forums could weigh in on the quality of components in the 2015 versus 2014. Jamis has conveniently listed the bikes spec sheets and a previous year spec sheet can also be pulled up.

Thanks in advance for your responses!
