After my first Jamis I got a weak spot for the brand.
Why? I don't know.
I think because my Diablo '98 is pretty special and there aren't many of them around, and the brand is quite unknown in Holland.
I have been searching for a retro Jamis for a few years, and especially the first Diablo.
I searched on different Ebay's, but never saw one.
But last week I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw one on the dutch Marketplace.
It was disguised as a city bike, with slick and fenders and all that crap.
Yesterday evening I bought it and today got time to strip it to a mountainbike worthy appearance.
It is in very good condition, few minor scratches, decals in good shape.
Put on an other sadle and some Psycho's to see what it could look like.
I don't know how I am going to build it, I bought a XT crank and V's.
Other plans are Syncross stem and post, XT hubs with Mavic sub wheels, XT thumbies and some amber wall tires.
And my not so retro Diablo '98
