I have the privilege of being supported by a number of awesome companies, for which i am truly thankful. One of these sponsors, Jamis Bicycles are responsible for supplying me with the fantastic bikes that help me set those fast bike splits on race day.
Anyway the last 6 months I have coped a bit of flack about the Jamis. Just because it is not one the so called "brands to have" which populate transitions around NZ like sheep do our countryside. Sure Jamis might not be a huge brand in triathlon yet but it should be a force to be reckoned with. I have a number of interesting facts that will have certain people (shall i name and shame?) think twice before dropping in those cheeky Jamis comments on the next training ride.
Over the last twelve months Jamis Bicycles have achieved....
- 1st Place - 2010 Men's NZ elite road Cycle Championship's
- 1st Place Stage 2 Tour of Southland 2009, in Yellow Jersey for 3days and finished 2nd Overall
- Ridden to the fastest ever ironman distance time by a New Zealander
- Won Xterra New Zealand 2009
- Ridden to 2nd Fastest Overall Bike Time at Ironman NZ 2009
- Ridden to Fastest Age Group and 10th Overall Bike Spilt at Ironman NZ
Not bad for a fairly new brand into the triathlon and road market. I mean face it a lot of people buy bikes based on how fast they go at big races or what they have won. Considering it is not in peloton at the big tours yet it is pretty good.
Watch for more top results during 2010
