It was time to let her go, I will never be able to ride again and it was getting depressing seeing her all lonely and neglected in my workout room. Do post stories and pictures of you and the fabulous Jamis when you pick her up, I want to hear the adventure stories

As it turned out it was great that you bought her. Jamis SERIOUSLY downgraded the Dakar Comp line that year. I think the 2011 version I purchased had the best mix of all of the Dakar Comps and then I upgraded the cassette before bringing her home.
