I like the Trek, as I said on the previous thread, but I have noticed that quite a bit of vibration comes through the handlebars, so that's a factor which you'll want to consider. I ride mostly on surfaced trails and some dirt tracks. I've never riden another bike for any length of time, so I don't have anything to compare it with.

If you have a problem with carpal tunnel you'll want to test the bikes carefully.

Good luck!
