Awesome. Thanks very much.

Your comments seem pretty in-line with what I've read about Jamis bikes. I had never previously heard of them before the suggestion by my LBS. After three seasons, you have not had to replace the rims? I had heard that was a downfall of the rim brakes, as opposed to disc or drum, that you have to replace the rims after a few sets of pads.

Thanks again. Really.

Anyone else have experience with either of these bikes?
