Experience with Jamis bikes?
Hi, I'm new to cycling except for some weekend rides with the family in my old mountain bike. Looking to upgrade and ride more often for greater distances, so I went to a local bike shop yesterday and tested out a Jamis Ventura Sport and Ventura Comp. I really liked the way the Sport felt, plus it was the right size. The Comp was one size up and I could tell it wasn't right for me, but I wanted to be able to try both to see if I felt a $200 difference. I liked the Sport better, but I'm thinking that's probably because the frame size was perfect for me. Any thoughts on these two bikes? I know the Comp has a carbon fork, but I'm not sure that model is worth the extra $200. Thanks in advance.
