Giant or Trek

Dubdude · 2009-08-05 09:59:19

So im thinking of getting either a Giant FCR 4 2009 or a Trek 7.3 any thoughts on which one you would go for the Giant costs 500 and was thinking of trying to get something knocked off the price and I have got the guy in the other shop down to 540 for the Trek. So my question is which would you choose??

Personally I'd take the Giant and you'll probably be able to get a few quid off the bike or if not a discount on accessories, check out a few online stores before parting with your cash though!

Try them out and go for whichever fits you better.

The Giant is the more racey of the two with a more forward aggressive position and narrower tires. If you buy online the FCR 4 may well come within budget. You can't buy treks online so your stuck with the list price, although you may be able to haggle on cheaper accessories. I'd go with the giant.
