I had an '09 JTS. It was a solid bike but I was rear-ended when it was on my bike rack. The frame actually may still be just fine. It's hanging in my garage. I found the stock pads on Kore's squealed furiously but braking power was adequate.
Cross tires will wear fast for commuting and will be slower. I mounted regular road tires for commuting and training.
One of the best bikes for the money!

I plan to switch out the tires ASAP, I just have to wait til after xmas! Over time I will get a rack and some sweet panniers. I ideally would like to buy local but cost does matter.

I would, but alas it was Replaced by A Colnago World Cup.
The 09 JTS was a classic dark green and 11/12's are Black/White. Not only one of the best values out of the box, one of the best looking too. On the start line they look twice as expensive.
