So my cycle2work voucher has arrived and the bike I set my heart on is of course out of stock for the next few months lol

So I have narrowed it down to 2 bikes, What do you peeps think the better bike is ?

TREK 09 6300 WHITE

OR

SPECIALIZED 09 ROCKHOPPER COMP

I personally do not like white bikes.

Also, I have a Specialized MTB which is lovely. It's brown.

Not that I am influenced by colours or anything!

I agree on the white thing, My first choice was the Orange 6300, I'm just not sure how much "wrong" attention Specialized draw.

linsen

can you try them out?

I find that bikes are a very personal thing and you should know which one feels right when you get on them......

gb155

Yeah, From a ride POV both feel good, Just cant decide on what one.

I was also tempted by the GENESIS 09 CORE but at 6 foot 4" I wasn't sure that the biggest side of 20" would be big enough and they didnt have one to test.

linsen

Then colour and general look should be your guides....

I went for a brown MTB because I figured that would be the colour it would end up after a few trips in the woods anyway

Doesn't Orange let you choose the colour of your bike?

ADDS I should really be telling you to get a road bike. Or a fixie.

An Orange (Road Fixie lol) is a little out of my 800 quid voucher range though lol

Always buy the white one. White bikes are better.
