Apparently there is a high end bike maker with bikes that they are branding "Jeep", there was also a
CRAP bike manufacturer making disposable "Jeep" bikes for greater dept. stores everywhere.

If you buy a Jeep bike, it's because you're a beginner that hasn't researched purchasing a mountain
bike in a sensible way,and if you're a beginner you really ,really don't want a downhill bike. Jeep
are OK selling mock downhill bikes to novices because they know very little about mountain biking,
and lots about selling innapropriate machinery to city dwellers with a hankering for that good ol
outdoor style.

For 2400 bucks you could have got a really nice trail bike that would last you for years and allow
you to improve your skills. Sell the Jeep quick, although you may find this difficult, take the
money to a real bike shop, and ask them to save your soul.

No advice anyone can give you over the net will compare with test riding a well made, appropriate
bike. Do you not have a local bike shop that sells good quality bikes?
