Thanks for the pointer. They have a few more manufacturers for me to check out. I'll have a list to go out and kick some tires with.

I'm not too worried about components, because I'm confident they'll break or be upgraded.
The kind of review I'm looking for is about the frame, mostly. Things like "chainstays are too long"; "toptube too short, so I bang my knees on the fork crown"; "slow/fast is too squirrley"; etc. I'll admit, I don't really like shopping all that much, so the more I research I can do at home, the better.
