Grip tape for a road bike, just a hack job with the duct tape. Will re-apply latter when i have more time.

Thanks for the comments guys.

These are a seriously sexy DH rig. I don't know why they arn't more popular.

Sweet as bike bro!

We had one at work ages ago.

Don't see to many around these days... (I have only ever seen one in my life)

 

[Burrito_Boy]

They are quite the nice cycles those ones. We had a pre production one in at work end of last year, i was quite suprised with how sic it was. Give us a bit of a ride report after you have ridden it would really like to hear how they go.

AWSOME! great looking bike. Maybe i should finnish building my jamis darker frame up as a 4x bike as jamis frames always look good.

Loving the new jamis bikes, this is my personal favourite. I might invest in one next year. I get them at near CP.

looks a lot like a 303r but with a link instead of rail, that is still the best lookin jamis i've seen.

I've always been a fan of Jamis's (I own two myself), it surprises me that there aren't more BAM's and Parker's out there, they're really awesome bikes.

Nice rig mate, ride her hard.

Retail is about $7500ish, although quite pricey however it is a superb bike. As I work at a bike shop which deals almost exclusively with Adventure Brands (The importer of Jamis) I was able to buy straight from the distributer saving a few bucks. The build quality of Jamis amazes me, even in their lower quality bikes. I am too surprised there are not many out there.... hopefully they will become a higher sought-after brand as more people realise their value and performance. Really happy with the Bam, as it is adapted from Jamis' Dakar xc frame it pedals really really well, its short wheel base makes tight cornering simple however makes straight lines over rough stuff a little bumpy. Its light-weight too, just a hair over 18kg's and thats with no exceedingly light componentry (sp?). Certainly quality but not light. It would be easy to cut down on some kg's.

*What hayden said above*

Did I just spot an Anaconda sales pitch?
