The Jamis Commuter 3.0 Bicycle

We have been wishing somebody would build a bike like this for quite a while, and now Jamis has done it! We're big fans of the Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal gear system here at Harris Cyclery, and we're really excited to be able to offer a well-equipped commuter bike for such a low price. This is a great bike for the "serious" cyclist (and there's no cycling more serious than commmuting to work!)
Lightweight, rustproof aluminum frame with straight tubes, 622 mm (700C) "road" wheels for easier rolling, polycarbonate fenders to protect you from spray. Just add a good lighting system and you're ready to commute!
Commuting is among the most stressful types of riding for equipment, also one where reliability is most critical.
The Commuter 3.0 is built for reliability and comfort, without being a sluggish tank. Drop by and take one for a test ride, you'll be impressed!
