This is Jamis Trail 24-speed ultra lightweight aluminum bike that was $1100. It is designed for a youth or shorter adult with a 14 inch frame. . It is truly a dual-purpose bike that can take on the most extreme terrain and can also be used as a great daily commuter.
Jamis is bike company that specializes in high-end quality bikes. They are only sold at select bike dealer stores. Every component on a Jamis is a top-quality name-brand component designed to provide a lifetime of trouble-free riding. There are no generic Chinese components used on this Jamis.
The bike has a 14-inch light aluminum frame with a very long seat post to accommodate a taller rider. The bike is super light, resulting in a very responsive handling bike. If you ever transport your bike, you will appreciate the lightness. If you ever ride hills, you will also immediately notice how easily it is to pedal the bike up a hill.
The Jamis has a super comfortable seat comprised of foam and gel for a very comfortable ride. There is no wear or rips on the seat as the bike was seldom ridden. .
The Jamis bike features hi-end, fully adjustable RST GILA ALUMINUM shocks. The shocks dampen any road irregularities and vibration from the road to the rider. Shocks prevent the bike from suddenly rebounding when a pot hole or object is hit, possibly throwing the rider. The dampening of shocks also prevents damage to the wheels and forks of a bike.
The Jamis bike features 24 speed Shimano EZ Fire shifters. With the flick of the top lever, the bike shifts up a gear, and the bottom lever shifts the bike down a gear. The Shimano shifters provide instant and precise shifts in each gear. The Shimano EZ Fire shifters also prevent the rider from every missing a shift.
The Rear derailleur is a top quality Shimano ACERA component. The chain is engaged precisely on each gear resulting in quiet and precise shifts. A top quality Shimano derailleur will prevent chain wear and also provide precise shifting without needing $79 tune-ups.
The bike features both front and rear disc brakes. They will never fade on long hills and are not affected by water or mud. The other important feature of disc brakes is the control you have over your braking, as they can be feathered without worrying about locking your brakes up. Disc brakes also will last for many years and will not need replacing as often as traditional V-brakes.
The bike features 26-inch lightweight double-walled aluminum rims with all stainless steel spokes. Double-walled aluminum rims are much lighter than regular aluminum rims, and also much stronger. Stainless steel spokes are important.
1. Stainless steel spokes are much stronger than regular steel spokes, often preventing a wheel from going out of alignment if an object or curb is hit.
2. Stainless steel spokes will never rust. If a wheel ever needs truing, the spoke nipple will not be rusty and break when turned. A broken spoke can be expensive to fix, especially the back wheel as the gears have to all come off.
The tires are all-terrain tires suitable for pavement or off-road. They are wider than a regular tire and provide an outstanding ride.
On the pavement only the middle section of the tire contacts the road, resulting in very little rolling resistance. Off-road or on gravel the surrounding tread provides excellent traction.
This is a top-quality bike that has seldom been used and always kept inside. It looks, rides, shifts, and brakes as new.
You are welcome to take a test ride and experience the ride of a top-quality Jamis bike.
