First off, thanks for the replies. My budget is $600.00-700.00. I've been researching and riding and riding and researching, going back and forth (probably driving the poor guy at Lewis and Clark crazy) I've got it narrowed down to Cannondale F-7 $650.00, Giant Revel 0 $650.00, and Giant Revel 1 $500.00. I came across a Jamis Trail X-2 at $400.00. With the big drop in price, especially with the F-7 and Revel 0, I thought I would get some input on Jamis. Haven't had a chance to ride the Jamis yet, so that's still a factor. Thanks again for the help.
