Jamis Comet 2004 Road Bike

This bike looks to be very good value at the moment - I have seen it
for $2400 in Melb.

Details on Jamis site:

www.jamisbikes.com/bikes/04_comet.html

I am interested in a non compact road bike with a minimal slope top
bar. This one seems to have a high level of equipment at an attactive
price.

Any experience or coments on this bike would be appreciated? How
reliable are Mavic Ksyrium wheels in general use?

I bought one of these a couple of months ago...

2,500km later I've had no problems, and I still absolutely love it...

I haven't used them but based on friends' experience, if you're
heavy (I dunno, maybe 85kg+, but that's a guess) and/or you're
rough with them, the spokes can be fragile.

The problem with that, is that the last time I knew about it,
maybe 2 years ago, the spokes were somewhere around $12 each.

But...they look cool
