Devinci bikes are greats! A very good value: very goood components for the price, very stable bikes, and very goood looking also. At home, we have 3 devinci bikes: I have the Chicane and The Caribou and my father has the Sydney. Devinci is still a young company (15 years) and is always developing new technologies. They even test ride with a special bike that analyses all the forces that interfere in a bike ride, so that they exaxtly know how to design cross country bikes, descent bikes, road, touring, hybrid, etc. They'll be starting carbon soon, also. As my name tells, I really recommend those bikes.
