[QUOTE="ON D BIT, post: 13781257, member: 10422"] Jamis makes good bikes but like every other bike company they build cheap bikes with poor specs as well. Just want a bike to tool around in and the bike you mentioned is fine. If you do want to get into anything bigger or more training type of rides I would something with better specs. With price in mind I would look at the dragon sport or the dakota 29 comp. The last thing I would want to do is spend $700 bucks on a bike wishing you now had a bike that responds better(mainly shifting, braking, and lighter weight), ie one with better components. If $800 bucks is your hard set limit, go to a bike shop and learn about the differences between components and bikes. Then look for a slightly used bike with the components you want, that you can pick up for 800 instead of the 2k msrp!:beer: [/QUOTE]
