Now I'm fretting over trying to finance a bike I really can't afford right now, or spending 1/4 the same amount to put drops on my Kona and change all the levers, etc.

Or just sitting tight until I have more money.

Uuuuurg!
I agree, there's nothing like the feel of steel! People ask me all the time, why I ride such a heavy bike and when am I going to get a titanium or carbon fiber. I tell them that I can't imagine loving any other bike better than mine. When I wear this one out, I'll have another one made...in steel...

Good Luck KnottedYet! If it's meant to be for you to have the Jamus, it will happen!
