The icon pro is great so far. Haven't got to ride much... Work, kids, dinner... So far I've noticed a smoother ride than with my old schwinn super sport. The carbon fork and seat post I guess are responsible for that. It has the same geometry as the xenith bikes, if you could find one of those to test it may give you an idea of how it is. As far as looks, fit and finish, and overall impression, I was blown away when I saw it/rode for the first time. The owner of the shop was kind of pushing a 2012 xenith endura sport (for the same $$,had to order either to get a 58), but he was blown away by the icon too. (This is the first one he's sold) said he would get one, if I liked it, it was mine, if I didn't like it, he would put it on the floor and get something else.
It defiantly begs to be ridden hard. Very stiff when you jump on the pedals. Turns in nice and quick but stays rock solid stable in a hard corner. I like it a lot.

I think you need to buy the 58cm CAAD 10 5 I'm about to list.

Started off with the Jamis Allegro X Comp a couple of years ago, this is what I ended up with:

I agree, Jamis riders should get together and ride. Anyone from the NYC area here?

That's it. You just convinced me with your hawt rig to go white tape again. Those wheels really make that bike pop. Very Rick Nielsen. And kudos for the strict adherence to BF photo etiquette.

That's a pity, looks like I might have to search real hard for it. Been trying real hard to find a stem that would match the bike. Is that the Garmin Team version of the ARX stem, carbon or aluminum? Mind telling me where did you find yours? At least that'll give me some kind of lead.

Edited to add: actually, 3T is also offering a 'Stealth' stem - that would probably work nicely, too.

xenith race vs xenith endura
Also, own a Jamis Durango (from the late 90s).
Thank you!

In addition to more relaxed geometry, the Endura will also take wider tires (more comfy) and has bosses for rack/fenders.
