Jamis Dakar Expert
Primary mountain bike
Status: Active
Description:
This was purchased as a frame-only ata great price from JensonUSA. I'm slowly building it up over the summer as I find deals on parts. It'll be nice to finally have a full suspension bike. I'm fairly particular about full suspension designs, but this one fits the bill: Horst link, short-ish chainstay, and it's set up for disc brakes.
Update: The build on this bike is now complete. I will be updating the component table shortly.
