Hi guys/gals,

I can't decide between these bikes.

GT Avalanch 3 Disc 2008

-- vs --

Specialized Hardrock Comp Disc 2008
http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=32573

They both retail at ~ £300. I'm swayed to the GT as I prefer the pait work. :)

Which is the better bike?

You get MUCH MUCH better brakes on the specialized.

Great, OK. I'm sold on that then. :P

Thanks.

I ended up buying a cheap basic Trek 3700 and I'm over the moon with it. :P
