ok, I’ve been eyeing a Jamis Bicycles 2006 Dakar Sport. $1100 for a f.s., disk brake equiped, rear air shock equiped (not so sure about this, but I see no spring on it, and I don’t think they make internal spring shocks for bikes) with some decent travel ratings. what do you guys think of it? here’s a link: Jamis Bicycles 2006 Dakar Sport

I have a 2006 Jamis Dakar XC Expert that I am actually selling – great all around bike, but I am more of a Specialized guy and am sticking with that line. Anyway, Jamis makes great bikes and this is no exception. I slapped on some upgraded parts and it rides extremely smooth! The one thing I do notice about the Dakar is that it sits up a little higher than some other bikes so you always feel like you are a bit high on some downhills (at least I do anyway).
Handles really well and I feel that the RP3 is a great rear shock to have on the bike. Teh carbon stays make it a little feathery in the rear. Acceleration is not bad either. The Sport might be a little on the heavy side, but it is a FS and not a super light hardtail race bike. All in all, I really like the bang for buck feature with jamis since they pump out quality bikes/parts for a reasonable price. Don’t know what the list price is for the 2006 Sport but you should be able to swing 10-20% off list of an 06 model.
Do you want to buy mine??? 😆
