Towing a trailer has done great things for my speed.
Seriously all you folks who want to go faster... get a BOB trailer, load it up with 60 pounds worth of gear and haul it around for three weeks, doing 20 - 80 miles a day.
You will get stronger.

SK- Hmmmm- actual Napa Century is Sunday August 20th- same day as the fundraiser up your way, I believe.
Now to get back to topic- I have a Jamis Quest which I bought in 2003. It has a lot of miles on it. Right now it's resting as I also have a Scott CR1 all carbon bike which I dearly love as well.
My Jamis has carbon forks which does make a difference in road feel. Yes, it is a very comfortable road bike.

Narrowing down the field...
subject to change without notice, of course...
Jamis Aurora, $825 with Tiagra/Deore/Sora http://www.jamisbikes.com/usa/bikes/06_aurora.html
Burley Vagabond, $1600 with 105 and made in Oregon http://www.burley.com/images/PDF/Vagabond-Spec-WEB.pdf
(and then there's the Burley Hudson with Ultegra and custom paint for $2200) www.burley.com/images/PDF/Hudson-Spec-WEB.pdf
It appears that it really is cheaper to buy a full bike than it is to build-up a frame, even with short cuts. I'm leaning toward the Vagabond. I can't get a bike for at least a year, so I have lots of time."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
