Jam2 frame problems?

[boneht]

Anyone had frame issues? I'm very interested in a 6.8 and my lbs (trying to sell me a trek) says they are low quality.

im 115kg and have done nearly 4000kms on mine in a year with no issues. your LBS is full of shit and trying to sell you something else.

I've got a Focus Jam2 and a Paralene roadie (old school -> user powered only!) and the quality of both is excellent, no issues with either. LBS has their own agenda.

No issues with my frame , well designed, well painted good welding.
Nice compact suspension design, charging point up out of harms way and plenty of room for a water bottle.

The Jam2 is an overall nice trail bike within a good price range.

Guess he's trying to push something he wants to get get rid off.

Would that be the Trek with the old motor?
I've never seen one on the trails and they don't seem to be talked about on here, so i guess that may indicate how popular they are?

They've tried both tbh, I don't want the bosch motor otherwise I might be tempted by the rather generous offer on a 2020 rail 9

I have the Carbon framed Focus and I too have been impressed with the build quality and the paint finish.

No complaints here either, mine has had quite a bit of abuse and is standing up very well.

Mega bikE and i use it for everything from bike parks to full on dh. It annoys me it's so good at everything I have thrown at it I want an excuse for NEW BIKE and I can't find one ?

Same, mine’s been thrashed for a year and no problems whatsoever with the frame (or the motor).

Mine's been down a few mountainsides, sometimes with me a few metres behind it, and seems to be strong as an ox. I doubt german manufacturers would mess around with structural integrity.
