Jamis bikes

[Mokgaga'a mmakubela!]

Is Jamis good brand for beginner?

[Cippo]

Depends on the model and components. They are very popular in the USA.

They don't seem to put any effort into making their bikes look good. i don't like them

welcome to the hub. post specs, prices, pitchars etc. then the hub experts will all have an opinion and lead/mislead you to a decision!

@MCipollini - i actually like Jamis Ventura Sport road bike. the thing is there are very few of them on the road in SA. does this mean something or not necessarily?

R5grand, hmmm

[Wayne Potgieter]

Surely R5k buys a lot more second hand.

@Wayne Potgieter - i am very sceptical about 2nd hand bikes as i dont know much about bikes

[jcza]

If you see a bike you fancy post it here and let the guys help you.

Fair enough.

 

Have a look at the hub classified, some pretty good deals there.

 

If you are unsure, post a topic asking peoples advise.

 

We will let you know if its a *** deal or not.
