Here’s a nice note we received from a “long distance” customer…
Adam, Tarbell & Mike, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for helping me with my recent MTB purchase. As you know, I checked out many different bike manufacturers/models and had decided on Jamis.
I live in the Atlanta area, and could not find a any dealer in or near Atlanta that had a single Jamis bike that I could look at. After widening my search, I found your shop and I really appreciate the fact that you guys went out of your way to arrange for a bike to be available for me to look at. Not only did you go out of your way to help me put a set of eyes on a bike, you were extremely helpful throughout the entire purchase process and continued to go above and beyond after the sale and helped me tremendously with finding the right setup.
For me, it was well worth the drive from Atlanta, even with today’s gas prices, to know that I was getting exactly what I wanted.
Thank you!
Mark R.

Jamis have really stepped it up in the freeride and dirt jump department for 2008. My son and I had the chance to extensively test the Kromo and Parker II at the demo day last week. I must say, I was impressed by both bikes… here’s my reviews.Both of these rigs were designed with input from slopestyle madman Jordie Lunn, and I’m pretty sure he’d feel comfortable doing his wacked out 360 flips and monster gap jumps on these machines.
Both bikes are in the 34-35 pound range, which is not so bad for a dual suspension freerider, but might seem a little hefty for a single-speed dirtjumper.

Parker
The Parker II is set up as an all-mountain rig that leans heavily toward the freeride side. Other builds in the Parker line include a slopestyle jumper, 4X gate-racer setup (Parker III) and a 3-ring all-mountain ride (Parker I).
- multi-link 7005 aluminum frame with oversize, gusseted headtube
- Rock Shox Domain Fork, with travel adjust, 35mm stanchions, 20mm axle
- dual front chainrings with bashguard
- 31.8mm Syncros bar and stem
- Hayes hydraulic disc brakes with 185mm front rotor
