Jamis makes some decent bikes for the price. I assume you are going to be riding pretty mild singletrack trails. If that's the case, don't make the mistake of buying a bike with a bunch of travel built for downhill. You only need 3 or 4 inches of travel in the rear. More than that and you can barely pedal it. In fact, 99% of singletrack trails you can ride on a hardtail.

Make sure to get a bike that fits you as well.

Post up the model you are looking at.
