considering price 725 or 1099 - which one is best?

The Rookie

I'd disagree, the Giant has the much better fork, and better chainset and cassette, the Diamonback only scores on the headline grabbing rear mech.

Ignoring price I'd take the Giant of the two but for £600 less I'd grab the Trott, leaving plenty of money to change the purple parts and even the frame if you really must, the fork would still be better than the Diamondback and still has a Maxle to the DB's QR.

Thanks for this great hels as ever both I agree are good specs for money the additinal 225 though for the Giant is it worth that extra.
