...is a good buy. Please let me know if it is a good climber/downhiller, and if the frame is reliable/strong.

Well first off i'd say go and take a look at their website at www.jamisbikes.com There you'll find some links to reviews about each bike, and there all very good for the most part. Also be sure to check out the reviews here at mtbr.com/reviews/

From what i've heard and from all the people around here they're awsome bikes. The design has been around for some time and is deffinately a proven design.

I also believe that all Jamis bikes have a lifetime warrenty so if you bust it you'll get a new one as soon as they can get it out to ya.

I'm sure owners will post their opinions on here as well,
Good luck

Good bikes and loaded up for the money. Check out mtbr classifieds for super prices on the 2002's.

I'm happy with my 2001 expert except for a few problems, listed in my review. I bought only the frame. You will save a LOT of money buying a complete bike; something in retrospect I would have done, but at least I was able to pick and choose every component on it. It's taken me a year and it's still not quite done; still need a new saddle and crankset/bb. Should be finished in the next month. By then I will want a new frame! :)

The comp has a cromo rear triangle I believe, although that might not be true for 2002. So weight is the main difference between the two.
