Actually, each road bike I've had was a different brand. Trek was first, then Specialized, now Jamis. The Trek and Specialized was the same price point, and the Specialized Allez was far better. I test rode many bikes in the $2k range and was easily sold on the Jamis Xenith Endura 2. The Felt F5 was up there too. So that's why I say Jamis is a great value, but as for Fuji and Giant I say so from friends input and comparing them to bikes from other companies (components, frame construction, and such).
