The shop where I work has carried Jamis for years, and they are absolutely fantastic bikes, and a phenominal value. I own a couple of them, as do several friends. Agreed that the Satellite is a top-notch bike for the money. A Bianchi Brava, for example, has cheaper drivetrain componentry, yet costs nearly $100 more. The Satellite also has the same frame geometry as the Quest, which got an Editor's Choice award in the most recent Bicycling magazine.
