Thanks for the replies, much obliged!

Becky - excellent point about the coil fork on the trek. Although I'm probably heavy enough for it, I think you're right that an air fork would give me more flexibility.

Kermit - thanks for the tips on the trek and the link, oddly I'd looked up reviews on the BMC but not much on the trek (my subconscious, maybe! ) am now much better informed!

Looks like the trek will come in to the LBS first, so I'm very grateful for your help - I'll definitely wait until the BMC comes in and I've ridden both now, even if the trek fits me well...

Thanks! Lynne
