Jamis Dragon 650 Test Ride/Review!
« on: October 25, 2011, 07:28:01 PM »
I was able to collect my thoughts and upload my Jamis Dragon 650 test ride impressions (along with some cell phone camera pics) this morning over at 650bpalace.com

Figured I'd alert you all in case you wanted to pop over for a quick read.

650B Palace: My Jamis Dragon 650 Test Ride - A Grade A Trail Bike

I'm hoping to take the Demo bike out a few more times this fall to put it through more paces.  A huge thanks again to Aaron at Storrs Center Cycle Storrs Center Cycle | Mansfield's Family Bicycle Shop for the demo/loaner bike! :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Mark

Are you the photographer ala: "Thread Of Life" ??

ya, nice review, bike seems sweet other than it seems a bit pricy.  :undecided: $2700 for a factory steel frame hard tail with just SLX components on it..? I do see the American Classic wheels, and the white Brothers fork, and it is 10 Speed which is new so it adds a few dollar signs to the price over 9 speed, But still seems to hit the wallet hard. Would rather have an Xfusion fork and SRAM shifting setup for a grand less.  Wonder if they all be selling the frames,../  now if the price is decent that might be a way to go!!  :D

they do have this coming soon,...

You can buy the frame-set.

And if you want cheaper - look at the Aluminum Nemesis 650b. :D
