Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Haven't had either but have had both brands and I don't think anyone would fault them. I think most will tell you to try both in shop, ask the assistant for advice. I had a specialized that had crappy gear-shifters but I think yours has a better trigger style set-up. Neither is particularly high-spec but perhaps someone with better knowledge can steer you towards one or the other?

Option 1 all the way.... Position is set up like a proper bike... probably more daunting at first having more weight over the front but better in the long run.
