Someone in the biz told me to be careful with K2 because they use cheaper aluminum on their entry level bikes, vs the major brands. Of course this dude might be biased because he sold two of the major brands. If you want to be sure, ask to have the bike weighed and compare the weight to other brands you're looking at. If that's not a concern, go for it. BTW, the mechanics at our local REI are pretty good.
