Looking at the Jamis Nova Frameset as a commuter bike, mainly because the price I can get on it. It's steel, comes with a Kinetic carbon fork. Anyone have any knowledge in Jamis, or their frames? My new shop carries the crap out of them so I'm trying to ride something my shop sells.


Thanks!

It is a good deal for that frame. Jamis makes pretty solid stuff, and it will make a versitile bike for commuting, even CX racing.

I had toe overlap problems on the one I test rode, but if your used to it on a road bike, shouldn't be a problem.

Yeh I'm not used to toe overlap.. but I wont be running the knobs like that are on a stock model. I'll prolly have slick 700x28c on there. I'll be commuting about 20 miles each way starting whenever I get the frame. Can't do that on knobs

I bought a Nova frame because of the price and the quality of construction/material. But, I have my heart set on running singlespeed, so I just picked up a Surly Crosscheck. Thus, I have the frame for sale in B&S.

I guess this qualifies as spam. Forgive me.

Still it's a great frame (me thinks), and if it had horizintal drop-outs I'd be running it in second.
