Hi. Brand new to the forum.

Got the choice of buying two 29er bikes.

Trek Superfly AL

Specialized Carve Expert

http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBC ... spid=62241

I've chosen both of these bikes as they should both fit my 6ft 7 frame and I'm mostly going to be doing single track and cross-country style riding with some road riding to get to certain trails.

I already own a Trek Hybrid that I really enjoy riding. Can't get to ride either of these before submitting final payment which totally sucks otherwise I would not be here asking advice combined with lots of other people.

I'm swaying toward the Trek because I own a Trek and the 100mm shock travel seems like a big deal as I get better on the mtn bike. Drivetrain seems to be the same on both bikes.

    Intersted in what you ended up with. I am looking at buying one of the same two bikes in the 2013 year.
