Jamis Dragon Review...

The Jamis Dragon Team is Jamis’ highest end race hardtail. It is made of lightweight 853 Reynolds steel. After riding this bike for the last year and a half I am convinced that steel is real!

I doubt that I will ever go back to riding an aluminum bike ever again. The race geometry of the Dragon is long and low and designed for going fast, and go fast it does. This bike will shred singletrack with the best fo them. T he bike is really stable at high speeds and i feel totally confident throwing it into corners at breakneck speed. The 853 Reynolds steel that the Dragon is made of produces the most the most beautifully riding frame that I have ever pedaled. (more…)

Surly 1×1 Review...

Surly 1×1 Bike Review Frame-set and custom groupo:
Bike ridden for: 7 years / various build kits

Ride and Handling: The best way to describe how a 1×1 rides is: it rides like a bike. There is nothing special about its frame geometry or its intended use, it is meant to be ridden on and off road and can handle just about anything you can put under its wheels. Whether climbing, descending, going fast or riding slow the 1×1 feels at home in just about any condition. If your trails have lots of roots or rocks NO PROBLEM the 1×1 can take up to a 2.7″ tire with room to spare, if you ride the street just mount up some sweet beach cruiser tires and rip up the roads. The frame is stiff enough to fly up the hills but compliant enough to do endurance(35miles +) rides and still feel fresh when you are done. The adaptability of the 1×1 allows it to handle any style of riding imaginable… minus jumping off of buildings and or 50mph World-Cup downhill races.
