You didn't state your budget, so I'll go from $@500-$@1,000.

Agree with the Fuji Absolute that was mentioned. The 1.9 down to the 1.7 can be had for between $450-550 when sales are taken into account. The 2.x series is made specifically for Performance stores and usually have a bit better components.
