Jamis Renegade A1

\nThis is the most affordable model of the Renegades and is constructed of butted aluminum tubing matched with an aluminum bladed fork.\nLike all Renegades it as capable off pavement as it is on.\nOutfitted with full coverage fenders and a rear carrier rack, and featuring clearance for studded tires for winter use, the A1 makes for a great year around commuting bike. \n\nDrivetrain and Brakes\nThe shifters, front and rear derailleurs are Shimano Claris. FSA's Vero crankset has compact 50/34 chainrings and the rear gears are a hill friendly 11-34. \nThe mechanical disc brake calipers are Tektro Lyra mechanical cable actuated with 160mm wavey rotors.\nBraking on the A1 is better than standard rim brake calipers, particularly off-pavement, but not as powerful as full hydraulic discs.\n\nWheels and Contact Points\nThe remainder of the components are solid. The seatpost, stem and handlebars are all 6061 aluminum.\nThe wheels are built for durability first and should last the life of the bik
