i was XC riding, the rear chainstays are notorious on the jamis parker/xam/bam lines of bikes. luckily i think the chainstay on an 09 is the newer model. I have to bring the frame to the other jamis dealer in the state, they should be able to warranty it for me. We'll see.

 holy shit!!!! I have an xam one model year newer. howd you do it? did they warranty it?

 what do you expect? its a jamis.
