Hi
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with a Jamis Coda flat bar road bike. I'm thinking of buying one for commuting. So far I've looked at the Giant CRXs, Kona Dew and Dew Deluxe (hybrid), Vivente Novara and Novara Sport, Apollo Allegro, Gitane Mach 3200 and 3400 (if anyone has any experiences of any of these that would also be much appreciated). I have a limit to how much I can spend so would like to go with something with reasonably good components which I can then upgrade later.
I like the look of the Jamis and like the fact it is a steel frame bike (Reynolds 520 cro-mo); I have a soft spot for steel frames. Also, I have some spare parts lying around of Deore and Deore LX quality so could easily swap out the parts I think need upgrading.
I basically would like to hear some peoples experiences with the Jamis in terms of ride quality, durability etc.
