I saw on Jensens website they are selling Jamis Dukar bikes at about 600 bucks. Thats the cheapest I have ever seen a full suspension bike! So I did a google search on the bike. It seems that 2008's had a problem with the chainstay part of the frame cracking, but was ok after 2008. I dont know if this would apply to this bike or not. The components on this bike alone are worth over the price you are paying for it. Just check some online bike stores....
