What's the book on Jamis bikes?
I bought a 62cm '09 Aurora Elite in June for a comfy, longer-distance weekender. I'm a 15-16mph rider, not a lot of interest for hard Cannondales here. Plus I like its traditional lines. This would be a great commuter if you can store it out of the rain & prying eyes. My commuter parking is outside, I ride an '86 Bridgestone 500 for that.
I've since removed one stem spacer, the Acorn saddlebag is in, and the honey B-17 & silver SKS P45s will be in this week.
My first Jamis was a leftover '07 Quest. Brilliant ride, price, and spec, but I took a chance and bought it too small.
