Jamis or Trek

I may have to add "Heathen" to my tag line.

I have to ride downtown today to get the Bike Bus from the service guys. The weather is blowing and cold and rainy . . . and I'm such a fairweather rider. Do the calories count in a Peppermint Mocha if you're doing your errands by bike in crappy weather?

I know all you bike commuters are just rolling your eyes at me.

I would NEVER roll my eyes at you where you can see me! but seriously - I think ANY errand done on a bike offsets any and all calories from a Peppermint Mocha! Enjoy it for me my friend!

I think just looking at a peppermint mocha burns enough calories to earn one.

I have the Trek 2100 2005 WSD. I think the 2006 2200 has upgraded components. I love this bike. I have put 3800 miles on her since September, and can't really find one thing to critisize, except I wish she had the dealies to attach racks to.

The only maintenance I have had to do is adjust the ders a couple weeks ago, and true the rear wheel this week. Original Bontrager Race Lite tires lasted till now, and the front still has plenty of miles on it, but I have changed them out just in case.

I put a Fizik Vitesse (that I had for several years on other bikes) saddle on her without riding the stock saddle.

I put different Shimano SPD pedals on her, and put her pedals on the bike those came off of.

Very, very happy with this bike which I bought on eBay sight unseen, and unridden, and which has been put to a use which she was not really intended for (long distance riding).

I much prefer steel bikes to aluminium ones. My Jamis Coda is so comfy on our potholes and such. I have an aluminum MTB that I ride occassionally (I am selling it this summer), and I just don't like the ride of it, even with it's shock.

I've put thousands of miles on my Jamis, all commuting (28 miles round trip) in all sorts of weather. I've never had any problems with it. Jamis is a small company, and makes very high-quality bikes.

Best of luck in your search.
