Jamis: Sputnik
Reynolds 631 air-hardened chromoly gains strength in the weld zone area allowing tubing to be drawn thinner for a lighter, stiffer frame with outstanding “feel”. With lost wax rear-entry dropouts for additional rear triangle lateral stiffness and Easton’s EC70 carbon fork offers an exceptionally smooth ride and is legendary Easton-stiff & strong.

Jamis: Exile Single Speed 29'er
There is arguably nothing more worth arguing about these days than what diameter wheel is best for a mountain bike – 26”? Or 29”? Unless you want to argue about which is more spiritual – mountain biking with 27 gears? Or one? And then there’s always the which-is-more-Zen-like debate -- riding with suspension? Or without? (And then there’s always the whole aluminum vs steel thing, but we won’t get into that.) Ah, the singlespeed…..quiet, simple, pure. No derailleurs to adjust or jam. No gear cables to clean. And way less weight to push around. But ah, the 29’er……those large diameter wheels have lower rolling resistance, a bigger contact patch for increased traction, roll over obstacles more easily and are less prone to pinch flats. But ah, the rigid ATB….. hones your handling skills and practical for pavement riding when you dress it up with slicks. Which hopefully explains why we make all three.

Jamis: Exile Single Speed
Reynolds 631 air-hardened chromoly actually gains strength in the weld zone area, instead of losing it like all other welded material, allowing Reynolds to draw this tubing thinner, for a lighter, stiffer frame with outstanding "feel". Heat treated cro-moly rear stays and investment cast dropouts increase torsional stiffness by 30%. Frame features lost wax rear entry droputs with chain tensioning set screws, slotted disc brake tabs for caliper alignment & positioning, flush "nest"-type cable guides with removeable hose/cable retention clips, and a CNC'ed removeable derailleur hanger that slides over the hub axle and fits within the rear entry dropouts.

Van Dessel: Country Road Bob
Our most beloved bike. Year after year, we fall for its single-speed charms. And we're not the only ones. Perhaps you heard what the folks at GQ said: "...the most perfect bike we've seen...you will rediscover the pure happiness you felt when you first mastered riding a two wheeler." That line still gets us all choked up. And how do you improve on "perfection"? Well, somehow we did it. A shade lighter and with the curvy style it had years ago, now along with charm, our Country Road Bob is kinda sexy too. Go ahead, swoon.

Van Dessel: Drag Strip Courage
Normally a split personality is cause for concern. But not in this case. This is cause for celebrating versatility and performance. Rather than lay out your hard-earned dough for two pro-caliber track bikes, you can get this Dual Function beauty. Just flip the stem, add aero bars and go from points racer to pursuiter, or vice versa. Then take your place on the podiums. None other than U.S. Olympian Jame Carney designed this one with us. Then he went out and won a bunch of races on it too.

Van Dessel: Buzz Bomb HT
Until they sell get-up-and-go in a can, get your recommended daily allowance from our Buzz Bomb HT. In fact, acceleration could be its middle name. Along with agile, graceful, lightweight, stable, responsive. Plus, this is that rare breed known as a 29-er. And it’s versatile too. The dropouts are Rohloff-ready. You can remove the derailleur hanger and set it up as a single speed. And of course, it’s race ready. Whatever you do to it, it’s built for speed.

Van Dessel: Buzz Bomb FS
Imagine your favorite gnarliest, most root-crossed, babyhead laden, obstacle-strewn single track all paved over with a nice smooth bed of asphalt and then a deep-pile shag on top of that. Sure it’s an ugly picture, but a plush one. Make that up to 4" inches of rear travel plush. Now, forget the crummy asphalt and tacky shag and turn your thoughts to our velvety smooth 29-er, the Buzz Bomb FS. From now on, if you want vibration, go operate a jackhammer.
