I like the look of that bike. I am trying to trade my downhill bike for some kind of full squish cross country rig. Older model of course since my DH bike is older also. Something like that bike or the older Heckler that had the Fifth Element rear shock......Heck..even something like a Dirtbag or Bottlerocket......something that pedals better uphill.

I would steer clear of a used Jamis. They had quite a bit of trouble with the rear triangle(chainstays) breaking. At the very least, make sure that is has an updated rear triangle.
