In For Test: Jamis Commuter 4

Shortly after receiving Jamis’ Commuter 4 for review the weather around these parts turned awfully cold and snowy. In fact, I had to swap out the brand new stock tires for some knobbies due to snowy roads on my mayden voyage. Not only that, but temps droppd down to 12-15 degrees Farenheight, which made for quite a frozen beard by the time I made it into work.

The Commuter 4 sits at the top of Jamis’ 4-bike commuter lineup, retailing for $800, while the base model Commuter 1 goes for just $390.

The Commuter 4 comes outfitted with most everything you need and want in a commuting machine: fenders with ample clearance for 35mm-wide tires, an 8-speed Nexus internal hub with a chain guide protecting your pant legs, a dynamo driven headlight and a nice, comfy and upright riding position.
