The Jamis Earth Cruiser is everything a cruiser should be, along with a few improvements from old steel cruisers of times past. It is still fun, comfortable and stylish; but now it is made of a aluminum instead of steel. This makes for a much lighter, much more rustproof bike. The Earth Cruiser is available in either a one or three speed model, both with a coaster brake. I have nothing bad to say about the bike, it is an absolute blast to ride. The seat is squishy, the bars are wide and comfortable, and it’s sure to be one of the coolest looking bikes in town. I find it impossible to ride without a huge grin on my face. this bike is just the ticket for anything from a trip to the coffee shop to just cruisin’ the neighborhood.

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. It is supple and compliant over roots and chatter bumps, yet stiff enough to provide snappy, instantaneous acceleration from each pedal stroke. As good as this bike is, there are a few downfalls. The race geometry induces a very aggressive riding position that, while perfect for fast flowing race courses, it isn’t the best for super tight technical trails. The longer wheelbase makes the bike a bit unstable in the air as well. My only other complaint is that the paint seems to chip off rather easily from rock strikes and chain slap. Other than that, this bike does exactly what it was designed to do; putting miles and miles of singletrack behind you as quickly as possible.
