The team for which it was title sponsor since 2010 may have folded following last season, but Jamis Bicycles will remain a presence on the North American circuit as bike supplier for the Silber Pro Cycling team.
Jamis will be the exclusive frameset supplier to the Canadian Continental team for the next two years, according to an announcement the team released today.
"We are thrilled to be with Jamis," said Silber Sports Director Gord Fraser. "Their bikes are world-class and they have such a rich history in the sport of cycling. We know we will be on the very best equipment and with a company that truly gets it. They are a genuine group of people who are fully vested in our team’s success. We could not be happier."

Silber will ride Jamis Xenith Series road and time trial bikes, according to today's announcement. The custom-painted Silber team bikes will be built using official team part and component suppliers, including Shimano groups, Easton wheels and cockpit, and Fizik saddles.
Starting its fourth season in the Continental ranks in 2017, Silber had a breakout season last year, taking wins at the Redlands Bicycle Classic, the Winston-Salem Classic and the Tour of Utah. The team also placed four riders in the 2016 UCI Road World Championships, including Ryan Roth, who made the final break in the pro men’s race and finished 15th.
Roth and the rest of Silber’s 2017 roster were announced in December, including 2016 Tour of Utah stage winner and yellow jersey wearer Kris Dahl, 2016 Joe Martin Stage Race runner-up Nigel Ellsay and former Team Jamis-Sutter Home member Stephen Bassett.
