Jamis Coda Elite

[Catrin]

I'd be curious as to what Gunnar could do for you weight and tubewise. I don't have anything against the Jamis; I just think you could potentially get even lighter with better tubing than what's offered on it (that will also likely result in a better ride quality). You might also take a look at Shamrock Cycles--a custom builder in Speedway. He does pretty stuff at a decent price.

Gunnar uses a higher grade steel tubing and thus is no doubt lighter than the Jamis, that I do know. I've time to research and figure out the best way to balance my champagne tastes and beer budget I think that Jonathan mentioned Shamrock Cycles to me in the past. I've got all winter to look around, which is a good thing!

edited: I found Shamrock's website, pretty steel bikes indeed!
