Description: (from jamisbikes.com)
Reynolds 631 air-hardened chromoly actually gains strength in the weld zone area, instead of losing it like all other welded material, allowing Reynolds to draw this tubing thinner, for a lighter, stiffer frame with outstanding "feel". Heat treated cro-moly rear stays and investment cast dropouts increase torsional stiffness by 30%
Frame features lost wax rear entry droputs with chain tensioning set screws, slotted disc brake tabs for caliper alignment & positioning, flush "nest"-type cable guides with removeable hose/cable retention clips, and a CNC'ed removeable derailleur hanger that slides over the hub axle and fits within the rear entry dropouts
Manitou Relic Super features 100mm of coil sprung/TPC damped suspension with external preload & rebound adjustors and lockout, stiff-but-light 30mm alloy stanchions, & Reverse Arch magnesium sliders
TPC is a low pressure/high volume damping system that eliminates heat related problems; the twin independent damping pistons are individually optimized for rebound & compression damping
Hayes Sole hydraulic disc brakes offer more power, better feel, require less maintenance, and are often lighter than cable-actuated disc brakes
WTB Mototec clamp-on grips feature a nylon skeleton that clamps down firmly on the bar, providng a no-slip contact point; over-sized knobs offer superior shock absorption & control in rough conditions
Easton EA30 cockpit parts feature Easton's propietary aluminum taper wall technology, a cold working process that produces multiple tapers to eliminate stress points & dissipate impact energy evenly
Maxxis Ignitor's well-spaced tread pattern offers low rolling resistance on the straights, with ramped outside edge pentagon providing excellent traction in corners & in loose soil
WTB Rocket V Comp saddle offers a slim contoured shape with small "whale-tail" rear that enhances pedaling leverage |

| Pros | Great Ergonomics, Good Handling | | Cons | I don't really care for the saddle, Kind of wide | | Recommended for: First-time buyers |
