Jamis Ventura Race Road Bike Shimano 105 48cm Alloy Frame Carbon Fork MSRP $1300

This is the perfect bike if you're just getting into road biking and want to see what it's all about without breaking the bank. Unbearable Lightness. There are days that were just made for long rides. This is the bike to match, as evidenced by countless Bicycling magazine Editor’s Choice award nominations. Our Venturas are perennial favorites at century rides and multi-day adventures like the AIDS Rides and multi-day tours, for their friendly handling and high-tech approach to simplifying your ride. We start with an oh-so-light 7005 aluminum main triangle, ride-tuned for comfort, with geometry that lets you sit a little more upright for neck and back relief. The upscale Ventura Race Femme gets a little weight-saving, bump-eating help from the carbon fiber monostay rear triangle, but the Comp and Sport receive the same level of meticulous ride tuning for optimized comfort. Compact cranksets give you 15% more climbing power than larger chainring “standard” cranks, but don’t saddle you with the extra weight and complexity of triple chainrings. Add in our woman-specific geometry and thoughtfully sized parts like handlebars and saddles, and you’ve got a new best friend for those magic summer rides. This is two-wheel magic. Just step on the pedals, and make it happen.
