Hello Everyone,
First poster here! I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on choosing a Jamis bike? I am basically a newbie in biking, although I used to own an entry level Shwinn mtb a few years ago.
I am currently looking at two Jamis models:
2007 Dakota Sport (964 USD)
2007 Dakota Comp (1306 USD)
The stupid thing is that I mostly need the bike to ride around the paved city tracks with occasional shortcuts to gravel. I wanted to get a Trek Soho but I could not find any reviews or convincing opinions, and I can't justify the heavy price tag. It also looks kind of fragile for my weight (198lbs). I heard about the popular Jamis' city bike (can't remember the name now) but it's not available anywhere around here. I want the bike to look good, to be light and confortable, although the main criteria is probably reliability.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
