So the good news is the Jamis honored the warranty on my Dragon and I no longer have a broken frame, but a brand new Dakota dxc Team frame.
http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/BikeSpecs.aspx?year=2011&brand=Jamis&model=Dakota+DXC+Team#.UttVLih6haUIt is actually the 2010 paint job, but Bikepedia does not list the 2010.
The less good news is that I don't have much interest in the new frame. I am sure it would ride nice (same geometry as the Dragon), and it looks fast as all get out, but I don't really have the cash to build it up to the standards it deserves, and I can't see developing the sort of long term relationship with it that I had with the Dragon. Which I sort of need in a bike. But we don't need to go to deep into that.
So I am looking to liquidate it, and looking for advice on how to do so. Like, what is a realistic asking price? Besides here and CL, what venues make sense? I am already overbooked next weekend so I can't make it to the swap, but would be willing to work out a deal if someone with space were willing be a middle-man for me.
If you know someone with a pocketful of cash, or one of these

Thanks,
Jon
