2+ on Jamis. You can't go wrong with their bikes.

I'm glad to hear such good things about Jamis...I am leaning towards one of their bikes, and the Giant dealer in my area knows that. Yesterday, he told me a bunch of stuff about how Jamis owns some bike company that makes junk and they are a low-end bike and if I'm going to waste my money on an inferior carbon frame I might as well just find some no name bike on ebay. It was actually really inflammatory and offensive, and even if I buy a Giant I will travel out of state before purchasing from this guy. Anyway - I hadn't really ever heard of Jamis, but I liked the bike and reviews seem to be really good. So, there's no truth to any of that, right? It seems like everyone on this thread has good things to say.
Fit! Fit! Fit! If the Jamis fits, and you like how it rides, then go for it. If it doesn't fit, then no matter how nice it rides, you will not be a happy camper on it.
