I am trying to stay within the price range of the bikes listed. The only reason I chose these bikes is because they are the only ones in my budget that the local shops carry and I was not really looking to get one off the internet. If you chose other, explain which bike and why. Thanks.

The jamis one is the one with a kink in the top tube. I don't think it's the cromo. That's the single speed one right?
We have a dj 50 at the shop. The spec on it is just total junk. If you can save up a little bit more and step up to the khs dj 100 that would make you alot happier in the long run.
commencal absolute maxmax maybe? cro-mo, it's rigid and yeah, has v-brakes, but suspension forks at that level of bike are probably more of a headache and liability than rigid. $465
that or save up for an extra month and get something you can actually rally w/o having to upgrade...like a Specialized P1 ($940 for 2009 bike) or a Black Market Three57 ($1049 for 2009 bikes)
here's the commencal (2008 version)

you also might want to take a good hard look at the mongoose line-up. the shop i use to work at carries them and they same to be very well built for the money. i know the frame is good but i have not looked too much into the part spec. dollar for dollar i bet you will find those bike very well spec'ed
I'm a beginner and i just got a p1, its kick ass.
I've decided that I don't need to get the bike at the lbs. What are the best bikes out there complete with a front suspension for under $1000?
look used. you could easily get a sick bike with lots of upgrades for a grand...
Is there anyone that carries the 357 in stock?
+1
Always go used for completes.
