I did. the 2100 is a pretty good bike considering it only costs $1,300. It's very stable downhill, but turns quickly on flat ground. My only complaint is that they only have double rings at my LBS.
I'm just not comfortable buying off the internet becuase I can't test it, I don't know how it feels, and a couple other things. However, I guess I won't rule it out right now.
