Ooh, that black and tan with scripted lettering is soooo classy compared to the big block letters of JAMIS.
That's OK.
I still love this bike

The stock saddle wasn't bad for 20 miles, I need to get better brakes because a) they're just lousy brakes and B)there isn't much fender clearance if I ever decide to put some on. $120.00
I am having some trouble with gears though. The bottom bracket had to be shimmed because it was out of alignment with the frame and derailleur.Skips around in the climbing gears. Not good. Mechanic blames this on small frame size
The front derailleur could use some adjusting too. Cruising along in the big ring the other day when all of a sudden when BLAGHERLASLERLABLERA (this is an actual noise) the chain was down on the middle ring.

But I still love this bike.

huh? I got fenders....and a rack....

once you get her set up the way you want...you'll never go back...

and that's despite the lettering which is...like many things today...I agree, badly designed.

Just for fun! The new ones are so shiny and pretty, but I'll have a hard time giving up that sweet combination of blue and red! :-)

Bluegirl...she's got character!!!

Did you see the Elite via the link?

[bluegirl]

Yes, indeed! I've been drooling over that one! The Quest is powder blue!! I'm not sure how I'd feel, having a black bike. Maybe it would make me more badass!

And I LOVE your setup with the fenders and the rack and the shiny rootbeer color! (block lettering or no!)


EDIT: Wait, after checking again, I LOVE the tan accents. Black + Tan = awsesome!
