Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster.
Done quite a bit of research and im after a do it all,
capable trail centre bike and have the opportunity to purchase either of these secondhand. Both 2016 models. Just wondering which you bikes would pick and why? As I can't seem to seperate the two. Here are the two bikes in question. Hopefully once i get on two wheels I will be able to contribute myself to this great forum. thanks in advance, Lloydy.

The Norco is OK but quite dated now and the quality of finish is ropey.
I'd avoid both and go for either a Rose Granite Chief or Giant Trance.

There's not much in it between them but personally I would look for a decent Giant Trance instead.
