Since I dont have a lot of money to spend, I have to choose between these 2 frames. Jamis dakar xc pro 2004 or KHS xc 304 2003. Both used of course, but no damages besides the usuall scratches. Anyone who can help me decide?

Both good options, but if I had to choose, I'd get the Jamis. Lots of good feedback on this frame.

That's not entirely true. Some early 2004's had a problem with the rear triangles. In a few instances, the welds failed. Some people (myself included) had problems with the rear drop-outs. They were supported by three arms that connected to the upper pivot. Some of these arms cracked.

Jamis redesigned to a four-arm style, that appears to have correct the problem. You may want to double-check the frame is this newer design. Jamis frames are warranted for 5 years, however, this only applies to the original owner.
