This 2003 Jamis Exile is a light, beautiful Reynolds 520 cro-moly steel frame that will make an excellent vintage MTB, gravel or 650b project. It's a 21" (center to top) model with a 23.25" top tube (my seat tube center to head tube center measurement; see the photo for Jamis' official geometry), so it's going to be best suited to riders over 6' tall. It features double tapered cromo stays, forged VERTICAL dropouts with eyelets, and a disc brake mount.
This color scheme is really different and is known as "Camo Green/Buff." It is in very good condition overall, but there are a few trouble spots of rust that I've taken time to identify in the photos, including on the top tube and some of the cable guides. I didn't want to do anything with them as that type of thing isn't my specialty and I didn't want to mess anything up. The frame has the usual marks from being enjoyed but it clearly wasn't ridden hard. The usual trouble spots, including the driveside chainstay, look great. No evidence of chainsuck ever. The paint is very glossy and the decals are complete and undamaged. There is a small scrape on the underside of the top tube from storage.
The 26.6 mm seatpost shown in the photos is NOT included but might still be available, contact me if you're interested. The Isis type bottom bracket spins ok but I'd consider replacing it, up to you. Rear spacing is 135 mm.
That about does it. If by chance you need any components to complete your build, or if you have any questions, please let me know.
