Specialized or Giant, Which one ?

WIP Crew

Hello guys

At the moment i have a Genesis core 10 Hardtail which is only a year old and still in very good condition both appearance and mechanically, the odd light scratch. my first question is how much am I likely to get for this ? Also wheres the best place to sell.

Secondly I would like to upgrade to a full suspension and the 3 I have to choose from are;

specialized canberra - £1100

Giant X Trance - £1070

Trek Fuel EX5 - 1350

Please could you provide me with your opinions of these 3 bikes, which one would you get, personal experiences ?

Thanks

WIP out !!!!

What's your upper budget limit and required frame size?

Only a possible medium frame left available, but this is a damn good spec.
