"My first road bike, and in the first 580 miles it has taken me around the neighborhood, as well as on longer Saturday rides of up to 46 miles. No problems to report, and I am liking it more and more. I will definitely look at Jamis again when it's time to upgrade."griga262

(5)

Ease of use

I've had no difficulties with it, and I am a beginner.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Everything seems to be in the right place, everything works well together.

(5)

Fit

I had to fiddle with it a bit, as I am a beginner. But I think I found the right balance for me.

(5)

Comfort

I've seen bad comments about the saddle of this bike. However, I got used to it pretty fast, and my ride is always comfortable.

(4)

Adjustability

I tried adjusting the saddle height, moving it back and forth, etc. However, my LBS recommended that I do not try adjusting the height of the handlebars on my own, as it can be tricky.

(5)

Durability

Haven't had any problems so far, after about 580 miles.

(5)

Value

I don't think you can find a cheaper entry level road bike, but the quality is pretty good.

(5)

Appearance

I love the red color scheme!

Strengths

I am a beginner, but it seems that you get an entry level bike that is very well put together for little money, compared to some other brands with similar components.

Weakness

I haven't found a weekness yet. Again, I think it's the best I could have done for the amount of money I paid.
