Price Paid:  $400.00 at LBS

Model Year:
2006

Favorite Ride:
Round Mtn.

Bike Setup:
Stock except for wheels and seat

Summary:
Old Reliable...The Reynolds frame is nice at this price and it has been a great bike. I did change the wheels to Mavic CXP 22's with Shimano 105 hubs. The stock wheels were junk; spokes a poppin' at about 200 miles. I have about 5000 miles on it now and it is doing great. Other than routine maintenance I never have to touch it. Switch the seat and wheels and you are good to go!

Strengths:
Frame, durability, trouble free riding, comfortable

Weaknesses:
Stock Wheels and stock seat

Price Paid:  $450.00

Model Year:
2006

Favorite Ride:
Jamis Coda

Bike Setup:
replaced seat w/ wider touring seat; replaced pedals (wore them out!) w/Crank Bros. 5050's (my combat boots don't slip off!!); replaced stock handle bar w/Trekking ATB/Hybrid Handlebar (www.bikenashbar.com); added Garmin Rino 530 GPS (w/US Topo maps); lights; AirZound horn; fenders; rear rack and panniers

Summary:
About two years ago, I was looking for a way to slim down after porking out at nearly 300 lbs. and I hate to run.. So I bought a bike. Little did I know I was getting one incredible ride!

To make a long story short, I lost all the weight, got down to 195 lbs in less then a summer and was ablr to rejoin the military. And I owe 90% of that happening to my Coda. I put over 1400 miles on it during the summer of 2006 and now I'm raking up the miles screamin' around Germany!

I can't wait to hit the roads in Italy and Japan next!!

Strengths:
Shifts like a dream! Very sturdy frame, takes bumps and dips very well; outstanding turning and control

Weaknesses:
the peddals didn't last nearly as long as I'd have liked (though it was just the excuse I was looking for to get the one's I wanted..); the straight handle bars don't allow for much in the way of hand placement
