Trek looks like the better deal out of those, mostly because of newer geometry. The others are very old now, and not worth that kind of money now

I would bet that neither specialized owner has done any recent Brain maintenance…stay clear

Yes 2019 / 2020 would be a starting point for newer geometry. If you could stretch to £1k you’d get something much nicer

Those stumpjumpers are like 2011 models, cool bikes but old and outdated, and they both have the specialized brain shock you really can’t get serviced anymore, and if you want to swap them out you will need to buy a third party link that costs hundred bucks plus the new shock obviously. The only decent option is the trek IMO.
