Pro Bike: Ben Jacques-Maynes' Jamis Xenith
2015 marks the 10th anniversary of the Amgen Tour of California, as well as Ben Jacques-Maynes’ 10th year racing in the event. To celebrate his status as the only rider to start all 10 years of the race, Jamis presented Jacques-Maynes with this custom-painted Xenith SL. Unfortunately, a late-race crash on stage 2 saw Jacques-Maynes out of the Tour and in the hospital with injuries. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com - View Larger Image.

It’s surprising to see anything narrower than 25mm printed on pro riders’ tubulars these days, but the entire Jamis team rides these Vittoria 23mm tubulars on Shimano wheels. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com - View Larger Image.

Carbon bottle cages are slowly becoming more common in the pro ranks. The Jamis team uses Profile Design bottle cages with red logos, which match the team's standard colors well. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com - View Larger Image.

Weight is kept low with the exceptionally lightweight Ritchey Superlogic seatpost. The Xenith is one of the few road bikes still using a 31.6mm-diameter seatpost. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com - View Larger Image.
