These have the reynolds 631 frame and carbon fork.
Really good deal, IMO. Plus they offer good customer service and do a pro build and inspection before shipping...

There is a stickied great deal / sale thread; no need to start a new thread. Also, no need to be a jerk, just post the facts.
Edit: I see you posted in the deal / sale thread w/o the obnoxious commentary.
I vote /thread.

calm down guys. It's a good deal and from a reputable dealer who actually takes the time to inspect and build the bikes before shipping. So not only is it a better bike than anything you can find on BD at that price range, but it also has customer service to back it.

I strongly support the Jamis Sputnik. I ****ing love mine. At the moment its with a good friend who currently doesn't have a bike and I miss it on the daily.
Only reason its gone is because it's got toshi's on it, my other bike is clipless :/

We don't need to get into a bash bd thread. That's a good deal, period. No need to embelish. This is just trolling.

I'm really not trolling. I edited my OP. I think it's a no brainer that at that price it's better than anything you could find on BD at the same price point.

I've been eyeing those as well. 2009 stock means they are 631 + the carbon fork.
2010: 631 no carbon fork.
2011: 520 no carbon fork.
Jamis has slowly ruined the sputnik.
Not sure if I wanna spring for it yet, as they have been sitting there at that price for a while.

It's a great deal an older but better model, imo. The new sputniks don't even compare.

How on earth is it cheaper? Your bike on BD cost at least $795 shipped. The sputnik is $570 shipped. Last time I checked 795-570 is 225. The sputnik has a better frame as well.

I might end up buying on if a few ebay auctions don't go the way I want 'em to. The Jamis tempts because of the better tubing and better geometry than my iro, BUT
it doesn't look at sexy as my bike.
