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

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
