The lightweight & durable aluminum frame of Jamis' Starlite is easier to pedal than steel. This swooping frame design has a purpose other than great looks: with 20” wheels this bike offers a low standover and low center of gravity for stable, secure riding and control. Jamis increased the wheelbase length over their 20” Laser to offer even greater stability, security and comfort. The wheels are light and easy to pedal thanks to the lightweight alloy rims that are silver anodized for extra corrosion resistance. The Starlite's swept back handlebars aren't boys BMX bars painted a feminine color: they are specifically designed to be easy to reach and promote a comfortable, secure, and upright ride position. Its extra-plush, broad-based saddle features a suede-like brushed vinyl top that's grippy and keeps young riders from sliding around unsafely on the saddle top.
