Best praise vs top criticism for Jamis Renegade S3
“That's a very good price. I had a renegade for a few years and really liked it.”
“It wouldn't be worth it to bother switching out the bars if you don't want drops, I would likely just get another bike rather than getting a dropbar bike and switching it to flat. And at almost 6 feet I would probably say even the 50cm (medium) may be too small for you, but so far they have not starting selling a large size. So it seems like a used bike is likely the way to go here. Most bikes you see on marketplace will be aluminum unless specified otherwise. You can usually tell if a bike is a steel frame visually, as it will have skinnier tubing than an aluminum frame bike. (For an example of what I'm talking about look up the Jamis Renegade S4 and then the Renegade A1 I have never seen a bike listing that lists the spoke count of the wheels, but again I think you'll be able to tell looking at a bike if it looks like it is lacking in spokes and steer clear.”
