If you would like to pick up a built bike in that is ready to ride, add $100 for labor to build it up. Jamis Ventura Sport: Fit For Fast Lightweight aluminum alloy construction-pro-level technology just a few years ago-and smart component choices make our Ventura series a perfect choice for sagged multi-day adventures and long weekend rides, which is why youâ€ll see them underneath happy riders on gran fondos, at RAGBRAI, on multi-day fundraisers and in the pages of Bicycling Magazine winning yet another of their coveted Editorâ€s Choice awards. The Venturaâ€s handling is impeccable-stable, easy to ride, with just a hint of edginess that makes slinging into corners a joy. The Ventura frameâ€s aluminum alloy main triangle is extremely light, and if you opt for the Ventura Race youâ€ll even get a carbon fiber monostay rear end that sheds a few grams and really smooths the ride out for those extra-long rides. Compact cranksets give you double-chainring styling and weight, but with a 15% lower low gear for climbing power, trading away just 6% off the top end-so you get triple-ring help on the hills without resorting to the heft and complexity of triple rings. Pack in some miles this season, and make them easy on yourself with Venturaâ€s simple approach, making mileage easy.
