at elevate cycles Model Year:
2007 Summary:
The bike is garbage. I have owned it since July of 2008. I have the 2008 model.Purchased the bike new went to pick it up the dealer had trouble shifting it spent 1/2 hour riding it in the parking lot, no go. Waited a week and a half picked the bike up. Back to the to the shop on Labor Day weekend. The 105 shifter for the front deraillier kept hanging up resulting in the inability to shift to the upper chain ring. Took until March to get the new shifter in and it did the same thing. Now the dealer is waiting for Jamis to approve the installation of Shimano front crank seems that the front crank is not Shimano and does not mate with the 105 used. I'm am disgusted and not looking forward to riding a bike that is not well thought out and future troubles. Things might be better but I called Shimano and got a totally different story than the dealers. A real runaround. Strengths:
Responsive Weaknesses:

2007 Favorite Ride:
King City Bike Setup:
stock Summary:
I've just had the bike for a few days, but it was great on my first ride. I have the 2008 model, that appears to be similar to the 2009. The specs are pretty good for a thousand dollar bike (1200-1300 US for the 2009), with 105 shifters and drive train. Breaks seem to be the weak spot. The bike is fast and smooth. A good option for others who don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a road bike and want a solid bike they can improve over time. Strengths:
The ride is great, I fly up hills and the road bumps were not too noticeable (we are in the first few days of the spring thaw here in Toronto and there are a lot of bumps on the roads). The price is the real strength. I did not have the 1800+ dollars I would need to spend for a Trek 2.3 with a 105 drive train. Weaknesses:
The breaks don't inspire confidence and I imagine there are lighter wheels on the market - both of these can be improved in the years ahead. Similar Products Used:
GT ZR 4.0 (no carbon on this bike).
