It's tough to find Konas in some places. They aren't as mainstream as Trek, but the Jake offers fantastic value if you can find one. And it you like it, of course. It not, then it's worth nothing. I really like Konas, though I've only ridden the Jake series. Trek makes nice bikes too, though.

I don't remember the entire order, but I think 2300 is two levels below Tiagra. Also, the new Tiagra is 10 speed, which is pretty cool, if you're into that.
