Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Good deal for this frame/fork?
I just snagged this Jamis Eclipse with easton fork on ebay. Seemed like a great deal and if i don't like it for some reason i don't think i'd have much of a loss on re-selling it. Thoughts?

I'm replacing my 03 Allez Comp Cr-Mo frame that i busted.

Nice ride.

Not familiar with Jamis but I've only heard good things.

That price for a brand new steel/carbon stays frame and Easton fork sounds like a great deal.

Congrats, have fun.

Ok, thanks. I'm excited since i couldn't afford to just replace it with the frame I had.

I guess Jamis isn't too popular around here.

17 lbs seems a stretch but it does look like a good deal on a nice frame. I would guess you will get a ~19 lb bike which is pretty good.

Enjoy

Ya, you may be right. I looked up the bike on the jamis site and the 2003 full bike set-up was listed at 17.5lbs with full Ultegra which i have. But who knows what size and how accurate that is. Once i get it built up I guess I'll have to weigh it. I'm not that concerned about a pound or two though.
Thanks!
