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.
It was really meant to be! She fits me perfectly AND is beautiful to boot, plus well equipped. The only change I've made is changing out the twist shifter you had on one side to match the other, and of course adding my own pedals. She's already been to quite a few states and will be visiting more soon. Even though I am definitely more of a roadie than an MTBer, I enjoy having a MTB too and do plan to do more off-road riding in the future. I'll make sure to post!
