True- there is a lot of value for the money with Jamis and the Quest line.
$1750 for full 105 drivetrain, Ritchey cockpit and wheels, and full carbon fork.

The geometry in the largest size is fantastic too- nice and neutral...except for the insane 66.5mm BB drop. What?!? Its a road bike- why is there such little drop? Thatd be interesting to understand.
