Hurrah! You can never have too many bikes, and new bikes are
/always/ faster ;-)

Smart woman :-)

opinion on quality, value and alternatives. Also, is there
a ladies version with same look and feel?
No opinion on the Jamis (other than: go to the LBS, try lots
of bikes and buy the one that fist best) - but don't get too
hung up on the business of trying to find one for the missus
which is the same style. Or indeed a ladies' frame. It's not
certain that both of you need the same frame geometry, so if
you both buy the bike that fits best it's quite likely they
will be entirely different bikes; many women find that
modern sloping tube MTBs are perfectly acceptable without
going for a mixte frame.
Hey, wait - have you considered a tandem?
May you have another twenty years of blissful cycling on
your new mounts :-)
