I am selling a VERY LIGHTLY USED, black Jamis Quest (2004). The sticker size is listed at 50cm, though the actual size of the bike is more like a 52cm. If you want the actual DT/TT measurements, e-mail me. This bike is perfect for resizing, however, because it has a fork with an extra-long steerer tube - so you can easily cut it down or adjust the stem height if need be.

This bike sat in a shop from 2004 to 2009. It was purchased in the summer of 2009 and used for that summer season, but has otherwise not seen many miles.

It came with a set of Mavic wheels, but I recently upgraded them to a brand new pair of unridden, FSA-RD80 rims. This wheelset has never been used - I merely put them on the bike in order to sell it. In my opinion, it makes the bike looks badass.

Anyway, here are the specs:

- Real Design carbon fork w/ carbon steerer by Lightspeed (didn’t come on the bike, was added by me.).
- Shimano Ultegra 9-speed group (shifters, cassette, rear and front derailleurs).
- Truvativ triple-ring crankset.
- Shimano 105 brake calipers.
- FSA RD80 700c wheelset w/ Hutchinson tires.
- FSA seatpost, Profile Design stem, Easton EA50 handlebars.
- Specialized Toupe 143 saddle (also added by me, cost $120 new).

When this bike came out in 2004, the MSRP was nearly $1,400. Though the bike has an older generation of parts, they still function impeccably. Additionally, many of the original parts (fork, saddle, wheelset) on the bike have been upgraded, which has added to the bike’s overall worth.

The right shifter shows some scuffing (pictured) from a close scrape with a car, but the bike has not been in any accidents.

I recently tuned up the brakes, shifting, trued the wheels and cleaned the bike, so it is as good as new.

Do you still have this? The CL posting expired so I can't tell what you were asking. Probably more than I could afford, but....
