Both are refurbished by a reputable shop and are both $270. I’m just looking for something to ride to work and maybe some very light trails. Any advice welcome especially if one seems obviously better! Thanks!! by crosslaminated Bicycle Bike Right for me Which bicycle Which bicycle is right for me Which bike Which bike is right for me

SiberianToaster on March 17, 2026 4:38 am I’d pick the Trek for the gearing since there’s hills where I live That black cog on the rear wheel being larger means it’ll be easier to pedal up higher hills (ratios) in the lowest gear If you have very low or no hills, pick whichever you like the best
