This is the hybrid, a 2001 Jamis Coda. It's a sweet ride, with pretty much all XT components, except for the Deore Hollowtech cranks and Avid brakes. The Coda is a 27-speed, with Shimano rapidfire shifters. It's got 700c Ritchey zero-dish wheels, and crappy Cheng Skin Tires. As soon as I get the call from the bike shop the Jamis will be sporting Continental Top Touring 2000 tires, 700x37. I had some early problems with the rims (4 flats in about 9 miles of riding), but a friend reminded me to replace the rim liner with cloth electrical tape, which did the trick.

I've basically moved most of the commuter gear from the Trek to this bike, so if you've already read the Trek page you'll see some repeats here.

Here's the list of stuff:

• Topeak QT Deluxe Racktrunk on a Topeak Mule Rack -- The rack is rated for 40 lbs, with a space underneath for a Ulock. (It'd have to be a pretty skinny lock, though.) The Racktrunk has rails on the bottom that slide into special tracks on the Mule rack and locks on with a spring loaded quick release button. It comes on and off in about 2 seconds, but only when you want it to. The interior is insulated and can hold something like 8 cans of soda, or a couple spare water bottles, a sandwich, a bottle of gatorade, sunglasses case, and a change of clothes. I also keep my toolkit in here. The racktrunk is a great improvement over the Cobbworks panniers in terms of staying on the bike and coming off easily when you want it to, especially with the shoulder strap that attaches to the top. With the panniers (shown on the Trek page) they were always flying off -- but the panniers have a much larger capacity, great for groceries and book shopping etc.
• Air Zound Airhorn -- 120 decibels for 20 bucks, recharges w/ a standard pump, AWESOME for riding in traffic. When I hit the button on this baby whatever driver it's pointed at inevitably hits the brakes, probably thinking a huge semi is bearing down on them for the kill. This horn gives me alot more confidence riding in traffic. You can't really shout loud enough to be heard over a radio, and drivers for the most part I've found will ignore a whistle. The horn is great. You can find these at http://www.onlinesports.com
• CygoLite NightRover headlight -- Rechargable. Put it on the charger overnight. 2 beams, one flood, one highbeam. Each puts out about 6 watts, unlike the measly 2 or 2.5 watts of the VistaLite RoadToad. I can see the road by the light of the CygoLite for about 20 feet in front of me. Not so great at high speeds, but it only cost me $35 bucks when I bought the Jamis (got a discount from the shop), and it's a great improvement over the RoadToad. Lowered expectations on my part, I guess.
• 2 Polar Bottles -- fill 'em 1/3rd full the night before a ride, put them in the freezer overnight, fill to the top w/ cold water before you ride, and they stay cold for 4 or 5 hours. These fit into 2 Profile Bottle Kages. Great cages and they have them at nashbar.com. I like the retention system on the Kage.
• Kickstand -- I got used to having it on the Trek for the panniers, so I got one for the Jamis. Good thing too, because it's hard to find anything big enough to lean a 23" frame against with any kind of stability.
• Terry Liberator Saddle -- This is a great saddle. Put 20 miles on it the first day I got it, and no pain or numbness. I wasn't constantly shifting around to find the right spot like I do with the Specialized Body Geometry saddle I have on the Trek, either. I did find that I had to adjust the saddle's angle to put the nose slightly higher than with previous saddles, probably due to the higher padding on the back of the saddle.
• HALT! Dog repellent -- One handlebar-mounted can does wonders for my confidence riding by dog parks. I like dogs well enough when I'm standing on the ground and they're friendly. But the sight of someone on a bike seems to drive dogs into a frenzy. I bought this after a dog leaped over a fence in a dog park and started running after me. I hear squirting dogs with your water bottle will work too, but the Polar bottles w/ the thick double-wall insulation don't squirt so well.
• Topeak Panoram cyclecomputer -- This is a nifty comp. It's got a backlight, it has seperate Ride Time and Trip Time (time spent riding vs. overall trip time including stops). The mounting of the wireless sensor took me about 90 seconds -- put the sensor on the fork, yank the ziptie, and screw the wheel magnet onto a single spoke. The large computer itself mounts on a 3-piece bracket that attaches to the handlebar, with the computer offset from the handlebar piece to rest over the stem. The only minus to this comp is that the display is so large I have to rotate the mount slightly to remove the computer or my headlight.
• Profile Design barends -- These were installed after the picture below was taken. They're pretty good, although I'm thinking about moving them to place them perpendicular to the ground, as I rarely use the lower portion of the uprights and having the uprights lean forward means that to grasp the ends (which angle in over the handlebars) I have to lean forward also. I took an endo the other day, bringing the bike over with me, and landing it on these upright bars. Other than a couple of cosmetic scratches, no damage to the uprights -- and they acted as a rollbar to protect the horn, computer, and headlight.
