i am a spesh fan. will give them both a ride but maybe it would be good to try another brand? if the componenst on the spesh are slightly better would that mean the frame is not as good as the trek? they do make their own components too that will bring the price down i suppose.
which frame is better, hey? for upgrading and such.
That Trek doesn't have a few of the features that you get with the EX7 upwards. No ABP brake pivot thing and no fully floating rear triangle.
I haven't ridden the high end models(7+), but tried the 6.5 and it still felt super smooth (only in the street, but I did take it down a flight of steps ) and I much preferred it to the FSR XC expert.
I'd choose the Trek, but that's purely personal preference, they're very closely matched.

If so, go test them both - since there both from market leaders, spec value is around the same, would come down to which one rode the best for me.
Personally I prefer the spesh. looks nicer and has 1 or 2 better parts on it. see if you can test them both and see what fits

won't notice much difference n the frames till you test the bike.
same with the trek till you get to the carbons.

If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.
