Took a punt on this via Evans, as they're shifting them with a decent 20%+ off. £1240.

Positive first impression is that this is the 'newer' model from Jamis, so doesn't actually come with the spec listed on the Evans website (cable/hydro disks, QR wheels, non-series chainset). They seem to list it as the 2015 spec, but this is the 2016 spec - Hydro disks, thru-axles, full 105 gears. Even the 'Questions' section of the evans website still seems to be getting this wrong.

It also got some interesting features, including a 3rd bottle mount under the downtube and subtle, hidden mudguard mounts.

First ride this morning to work (this bike will be my daily commuter).. and it feels massive, like riding a sofa!....But in a good way. The headtube is very long, though the stem can still come down a couple of cm. Hit the cobbles at the front of the Liver Building in Liverpool and just flew across them.

The 35mm tyres will probably get downsized to 28/30 once mudguards are needed.
