2012 Jamis Coda Comp now available
 

I spoke to the guy in the LBS last December about buying a 2012 Coda Comp. After contacting the Jamis folks, he said they were going to offer them in black and silver, as well as blue and white. I said I would prefer the black and silver if they could get one. I was told they would not be available until late January. I got a call today and they are now available, but only in the midnight blue and white color scheme, so I had them order me one. Just wanted to let folks know they are now around, thanks. Pictures pretty soon.

I just goggled it and got a PDF file on the bike, specs, Etc.. But nothing about an MSRP or retail LBS price. Just wondering ? Seems like a nice ride !

MSRP $775, I got them to change the tires (pretty much a wash), add a rack and a Cateye Strada wireless for that price.

I know you must be ready to RIDE ! Can not wait for you to give us a full review, and pictures on it... ( Mandatory) : )

That's great news! :thumb:

I'm also interested in this bike, since it has the lowest gear ratio of any hybrid I've investigated, with a 26 tooth small chain ring and a 32 tooth large cog ring. I live in hilly Cincinnati. But I wonder how 'midnight' the blue is, because the image on Jamis' site is more of a medium blue. I would think it would be a navy like. Was anything mentioned about this in your discussion with the guy at your shop?

Just wondering aloud here. How is the riding position on the Coda line vs. the Trek FX? I can never understand those geometry stats. To me the FX looks a bit more aggressive. I wonder if a Coda would be a bit more comfy for 1 hr rides around town or local bike path. The cost seems a bit better with the Jamis so it is tempting

I still haven't seen the bike in person, but I understand the blue is darker than in the site pictures. I have decided to stay in Florida for another month, so I called the shop and let them know. They have the bike in the shipping crate but won't put it together until I let them know I am home (Connecticut)
I rode both bikes and decided on the Jamis. It just seemed to fit me better, and the ride and shifting were smother. Could have been the setup, but I went with the Jamis. I don't think you can go wrong with either of those choices. I've been riding a 15 year old Trek mountain bike, so this one will probably feel like a Caddy the first time I take it out for a long ride!
