Shannon,

Thanks for the references. I'll check into them.
My needs are simple. I like solidly built products. What I wonder about are the components. Are there any breakthrough items that are mush haves?
Disc brakes?
Suspension components?

I hear you about the seats. And I am so grateful for the camelback systems so staying hydrated isn't a major issue. My right knee is crap, bone on bone in spots. I like to hike, but have found it difficult to have a pleasant, pain free experience of any duration.

I'd prefer to just buy at Academy.. but if I need to go do the fancy fitting route.. well.. sometimes you gotta do it right.
Adios,
