Free to good home

I’m finally retiring my commuter tank, a 2009 56cm Jamis bosanova touring bike. It’s in pretty rough shape. According to my Strava it has over 26,000 miles on it, but I was commuting on it well before I started logging miles, so it probably has over 40k miles at least. The rear rack actually has notches in the aluminum from wear.

Brakes are OK, not great. Shifting is OK, not great. I’d rather give it away to someone who needs it as a whole bike rather than send it to the boneyard. The ride quality is actually quite good despite the wear. It’s a heavy bike, so best suited for a heavy person like me.

Has original derailleurs (3×9 Tiagra, but granny gear is locked out so it’s really a 2×9) and shifters (I think) but pretty much all all other parts are replacement. Wheels are (old) Mavic disc mtb wheels (hubs still OK I think). Tires are Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tour, and they probably have 15k miles on them at least, but they don’t seem very worn and continue to grip great. It’s probably on its third or fourth bottom bracket and I know it’s on its third brake set (mechanical disk).

The only new parts on the bike are the Brooks saddle (not very well broken in) and the seat post (non kickback, which suits my weirdly ass-forward position preference).

If anybody needs this bike for daily use, let me know by PM. I’ll check back in a few days. -Jeff
