I'd say it's a pretty good choice for a first bike. The Jamis frames I've checked out have a pretty good reputation and the Deore components are easily upgradeable piece at a time as they wear out. The fork could be improved upon but I'd wait until after you can actually feel it holding you back.

I bought a 2002 Durango SX last winter when I found a good deal. I then bought a firm ride kit for the fork from ANswer products (about 25 bucks)and it really helped (although I am around 200 pounds).

I have been happy with the purchase. Although I rented a Specialized Epic at Spooner lake at Lake Tahoe (35$ a day what a steal!!). If you go to the specialized web site there is a picture of the flume trail I rode. Now I find myself finding excuses to go to the bike shop just to look at the Epics.

Getting back to Jamis. I think they offer a good deal at their regular price if you compare what components they put on their bikes. Trek, Specialized ect cost $100+ for bikes with similiar components.
