James,

I love the bike, and that’s a good price. 56cm sounds spot on.

Good luck.

I’m looking into buying one this week - 2008 Nova Pro, 56cm frame, $900. Looking around, it seems to be a good price. My only concern is the size. I have yet to ride it - don’t want to pimp myself out like that yet. I’m 5′11″ with about a 6′1″ wingspan. I think the 56cm sounds like it should be a good fit.

Sounds like you’ve had yours nearly a year now - what do you think? You still diggin’ the bike? Think it’s looking like a good bet for me?

Matt,

I am a few inches shorter than you. You’re probably correct, the 56cm should fit you better.

You bought a 54cm, what is your height? I am 6′0″ and feel that the 56cm would be a good fit, but there are not many Jamis dealers in Colorado who stock this bike at this time of year so it is tough to demo/test the bike without a special order.

Thanks

Jake,

> How’d you get the shop to give you 15% off MSRP and toss the pedals in for free?

All I had to do was ask. Our local bike shops have been great when it comes to pricing and freebies. In a small town, they have be competitive.

If you can hold off another month or two (until the 09’s start showing up), maybe they’ll lower their price a little. I hope you choose the bicycle that best suits you, I’ve been very happy with the Jamis Nova Pro.

Perhaps you can also check some suburban bike shops?

Good luck.

How’d you get the shop to give you 15% off MSRP and toss the pedals in for free? I can’t get a shop around the DC area to go any lower than MSRP, and they won’t toss a single thing in =( Any suggestions? I really would like to purchase this bike, but if it comes down to it, I’ll buy the Scattante X-560 for $999 and get the 10% back in store credit at the other bike shop in the area.

Brad,

The bike has been great so far. I wrote a brief 2008 Jamis Nova Pro Review.

How’s it riding? I’ve been looking at one myself and would appreciate a little review. Thanks.
