New Bike Day!
First ever mountain bike, purchased yesterday a.m. By last night had already trail ridden 3 hours and got it nice and dirty! Most fun I've had on a bike in ages.

Im shopping for a new bike. There is a Jamis I like. Im considering this Giant Revel. Its entry level, but should do me fine. Just not sure of the quality of Giant bikes. Never seen too much of them. I can get this one new for $450. Just wondering if its a good idea.

I'm jealous. I just bought a brand new 2012 Marin (leftover) and there is about 2 feet of snow on the ground and it's been stupid cold lately. At this rate I won't be able to take it for a ride till April. Enjoy your new bike!

Congratulations on the new bike! Now be thankful you're not in the polar vortex or whatever it is they're calling the crap we're getting on the northeast portion of the country, and go ride!
And I agree that at $700, most of the bikes will be of similar quality and use similar components. It comes down to what fits and rides best to you personally, which is an individual choice that has to do with your body's proportions.
