A shop here in Poland has some crazy deals on some Jamis bikes, including 2017 Renegade Exile for around 360 GBP. I am a bit discouraged by the alloy frame / alloy fork combo, but still tempted for it to replace singlespeed Vitus Dee as my daily all-weather commuter. Do you think I will feel the full-alloy frameset in terms of comfort? Right now Vitus (steel fork with alloy frame) feels noticeably less comfortable than Pickenflick.
I’m pretty sure a small drop I tire pressure on 40mm tires can suck up any additional vibrations that carbon would have caught.
So there is no aluminum harshness on tires that big.
