New Ride
Bought a new bike over the weekend. A Jamis Exile SS 29'er. Yeah, yeah....I know. I almost hate to say "SS and 29'er" in the same sentence because it sounds so cliche. All that follow the leader, trendy BS aside, it's a great bike. With a nice, upgrade worthy, steel frame/fork and decent componentry. In the $1,000 price category I don't think the Exile can be beat. One thing I don't care for is the 33x16 stock gearing. It seems like most production 29'ers are sporting a 32x20 combo from the factory, so I'm not sure what Jamis was thinking when they decided to slap on a 33x16. Unfortunately, the first ride probably won't be until this weekend. It's OK though....my 22 tooth freewheel shoud be in by then.

They were thinking "suck it up, ya big sissy!"
(says the guy running 32x22 on his trendy 29"er SS....)
Your 22t f/w is in. Now you have no excuses for walking.
