Oh. I said that Jamis only offering 1x in the nicer steel is disappointing.
As for the frameset, Jamis has offered the Renegade steel frame as a standalone option for years. It's come in flat black with 631 tubes.
I came incredibly close to buying one in summer of '19, but bought a Fairlight Secan frame instead because availability in my size had a shorter wait time.
The Jamis geometry was spot on for what I wanted and the value was great- I think it was $900 at the time.
